Connect Nexus 5600 and Qlogic

[jorgensor]

Hi,

Have a new DC solution with Nexus 56128 switches running LAN + Native FC.

Storage Arrays shall be connected to the Nexus switches via 8G FC

Customer has Dell blade with Qlogic SAN switches, where existing zoning is done. Today these are connected to the Storage Array.

Is it possible to connect the Qlogic switches to Nexus and disconnect the Storage from Qlogic?

Dell blade server -> Qlogic FC switch -> Nexus FC switch -> EMC VNX Storage

Thinking about interoperability issues between Nexus and Qlogic.

Hi,

No problem with that, just bear in mind that you have to configure NPV mode (or the equivalent qlogic name...) on the qlogic switch.

Rgds,
