Cisco UCS - VSAN on Unified/FCoE-Uplinks

[Gerald Gans]

Hello,

is there any way to configure the VSAN for an FCoE or Unified Uplink within the Cisco UCS. Starting with version 2.2 there is no field to select neither under Equipment > FI a/B nor under SAN > SAN Cloud.

Cheers

Hello Saurabh,

thanks for your advice. Cisco promised FCoE but does simple FC in the first document :) The second document works fine for versions below 2.2! Starting with 2.2 they omitted the VSAN selection field.

Gerald,

FCoE VLANs in the SAN cloud.

Sorry, what is the answer to this original question ? the URL don't answer it ?

Maybe I'm wrong ! please clarify !

I could of course create a VSAN with a FCoE Vlan, and imply that it is used on the uplink unified trunk ? but what if I need more than one VSAN, connecting 2 different uplink switches ?

Hi,

finally resolved. We were facing the bug CSCuj6205 https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCuj62005.

For fabric isolation I configured a non-default FCMAP on each side, but unfortunately the UCS does only work with the default FCMAP.
