Hello all,
1. We have set up 3 VSAN's for the customer here (100-102). Our design has connectivity from the MDS 9148 to the Fabric Interconnect 6120's, however they are not redundant connections (4 FC connections each). Because of this, I created VSAN's 200-202 to go up the right hand side connection (see visio, VSAN topology tab). I did this b/c I read that Cisco recommends that you use a different VSAN and a different FCoE VLAN to keep your fabrics separated. Each of these VSAN's are mapped to FCoE VLANS with the same ID #, and they are configured on our Ethernet switches. Is this the proper way to have the VSAN's configured?
Or do I just create VSAN 100-102 on both sides? If there is a simpler way, let me know...
2. Between our FI's and our 9148's I have the following connectivity? On the UCS we created a Fiber Channel with the 4 FC ports. On the MDS 9148 we created a port-channel with trunking on its 4 ports. Is this the proper way to have these 2 connected? Should we be trunking? Everything is up and up at 16Gbps on the UCS, but from a design perspective, i'm not sure if this is the way to do it? The reason I ask is b/c it seems weird to have a port-channel connect to a fiber channel...
Thanks in advance for your input.
