Hi there,
We currently have an N7k running version 6.2.(6) with a default ethernet VDC and a storage VDC. We are running F1 modules (N7K-F132XP-15) and share the interfaces across to the storage VDC.
We recently purchased an F2 module to connect our HP Bladecenter Chassis via a B22 FEX module. We were told by our account team that this was supported in our environment. I created a third VDC for the F2 module and now want to share those ports into the storage VDC.
When I try to add support for the F2 card in the storage VDC I get this error:
nyc-nx02(config-vdc)# limit-resource module-type f1 f2
This will cause all ports of unallowed types to be removed from this vdc. Continue (y/n)? [yes]
ERROR: Not all listed line card types are supported in a storage vdc on the current switch
nyc-nx02(config-vdc)#
I understand that the F1 and F2 modules are not supported in same VDC, but can they be shared in a storage VDC on the same switch? Before I continue troubleshooting I want to make sure this is the supported and best practice for this setup.
Thanks for your help
