Hi Matt

do cli "feature fcoe" and it should work

Walter.

Sorry, should have mentioned that I'd already enabled feature fcoe;

Have you seen

https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12023391/converting-eth-port-fc-port-cisco-6001-switch

Expansion Modules

Expansion modules allow the Cisco Nexus 6004 switch to be configured as cost-effective 10/40-Gigabit Ethernet switches

and as I/O consolidation platforms with native Fibre Channel connectivity.

Thanks for your replies, Walter.

 

I have seen that post, yes.  The Cisco guy who replied stated that Cisco were hoping to introduce support for native FC sometime last year.  I can only assume this hasn't happened yet, or only for the 6004.
