How do I manage the FCoE fabric on a 7K with a Storage VDC using DCNM?

[KG Support]

We have a 7K that we recently added a Storage VDC to.  I want to be able to manage that VDC using DCNM.  I've installed DCNM and am attempting to connect to the 7K on the mgmt IP using the DCNM for SAN client.  When I get to the Discover dialog and put in the mgmt IP for the 7K for the seed switch and credentials I know work (I can SSH with these credentials) it fails to connect with the message "Discovery terminated. No VSAN(s) configured. This is and empty fabric.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Did you follow the procedures in

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/nx-os/fcoe/configuration/guide/b_Cisco_NX-OS_FCoE_Configuration_Guide/configuring_fcoe_vlans_and_virtual_interfaces.html#task_C7F57ACF9BFD4ED4B398E5C184A781D2

FCoE in a dedicated storage VDC has the following guidelines:

• Enable the FCoE feature set in only one VDC.
• Create VLANs in the FCoE allocated VLAN range.

• ......

• Mapping a VSAN to a VLAN

  • A unique, dedicated VLAN must be configured at every converged access switch to carry traffic for each virtual fabric (VSAN) in the SAN (for example, VLAN 1002 for VSAN 10, VLAN 1003 for VSAN 2, and so on). If you enable MST, you must use a separate Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) instance for FCoE VLANs.
