one UCS with 7 blades,there is a vic 1340 in each blade.

two MDS c9148s,named MDS A01,MDS A02

one EMC VNX5200 storage

B site,

one MDS c9148s,named MDS B01

one EMC VNX5200 storage

the distance between two sites are about 6 km,there is a native FC connecttion between two MDS,MDS A01 and MDS B01(merged ,MDS A01 is principal switch)

if it possible to zone vfc in MDS A01 in A site with wwpn of storage in B site?

if it possible to configure UCS in A site to use the storage in B site?the customer assumed the storage in A site crashed
