Connecting a Dell PowerEdge M1000e to a Cisco MDS9513
Hello,
We are going to be installing some Dell PowerEdge blade servers (with a Brocade M5424 switch) and I have some questions about setting up my Cisco MDS9513 switches to support the storage for the blades.
1. Is enabling NPIV non-disruptive?
2. Do I enable NPIV on just the switch (edge) where the blade server will be plugged into or do I also need enable it on my core switch?
3. Do the ports that I'm going to use for these servers need to be in their own VSAN or can I use an exsisting VSAN?
If anyone has experience with setting up PowerEdge blade servers to a Cisco SAN, any assistance/information will be greatly appreciated.
