Is there an easy way to save my current static FCID values and load them to a new mds (assume the same VSAN and domain ids are used in the new switch).
Greetings,Perhaps this is not the right place to bring this up but I am getting a bit fed up with Cisco using resellers to supply the SAN switches. The reseller support for the most basic issues is pathetic. I am not able to get a CCO login and the...
I am looking for information on how to deploy CWDM Optics on the MDS 9112 12-port Module. Are there any caveats in doing this for remote FICON connecitivity over 10Km? Can we port channel across the link? Any info would be appreciated.
All within the same MDS9509 chassis, I have:1. a storage port in vSAN 100 (with vSAN 100 hosts zoned to it)2. a host port assigned to vSAN 700 (zoned to a storage port in vSAN 700)Is it possible to allow the host in vSAN 700 to be zoned to the storag...
Greetings,When using portchannels, what method (if any) is used to do load balancing if that is the correct terminology here. Eg, is all the data going through the port channel equally spread across the links?RegardsStephen
I am new to the Cisco switches. So here is a dumb question. I was under the impression that switch has a unique doamin ID. But I see a unique domain ID for each VSAN also. Why is that and is it being set by the switch itself or defined manually ? I ...
Hi All,Today I added two edge (9216A) switches to my core (9509) switches. Each edge and a core had one ISL in VSAN0001 created so the edge could become part of the single fabric. The core switches have two ISLs between them for management.I change...
Greetings,When using the new 4 Gbps cards, you don't loose the ability to use the other ports in the port group when the port becomes an E/TE port. I would like to know if you need to dedicate the 4 Gbps speed on the port when it becomes an E port. ...
Hi All,I have noticed that when I turn on a new 9000 series switch, VSAN0001 is always down. I cant remember what I did the last time on the switches to get it active. Normally, I just create a new VSAN and put the interfaces into the VSAN and duri...
I just got taking the test and some of the questions were very ambiguous. Not only that, but the exam did not allow me enough time to finish; I didn't answer the last 10 questions of 70. If I had, I would've passed.At any rate, here's a couple of que...
I was using this device discovery to find out how many luns can be seen on that server.I tried to use discover scsi-target command and it does not give much useful information. and I do not want to add the OS WWNS on my LUN security in addition to HB...
What is the best procedure from migrating from Brocade 2800/3900/12000 to Cisco MDS 9509 especially connected to HP-UX and AIX server.Without any Downtime I should be able to migrate these servers.I thought about these options:1. Use vgexport and vgi...
Greetings,I have a new task to perform and this was not covered all that much in the Cisco training that I had some time ago so perhaps some one could let me know what to expect.I have two 9216a's and two 9509s for redundancy. A blade will attach to...
