Create port channel between UCS-FI and MDS 9124 (F Mode)

JO BO
Level 1
Level 1

Dear Team,

We were trying to create  port channel between UCS FI and MDS 9124

But the port channel not getting active in F mode on MDS 9124

FI is in FC End Host Mode

We have enabled FC uplink trunking on FI

We have enabled NPIV on MDS

We have enabled trunk on MDS

FI and MDS in default VSAN

To check we changed the FI mode to FC Switching mode and port channels became active but in E mode

when we enabled FC uplink trunking on FI and FC Switching mode port channels became active in TE mode

but in both the above cases showflogi database shows WWPN of SAN alone not showing any from FI.

How to achive this?

Have read that no need to change the swicthing mode to FC Switching mode and keep as FC Endhost mode

SO how to achieve Port channel with F mode in MDS and FI ( Mode showing as NProxy)

Does it has to do anything with MDS NX-OS version? (https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2179129)

If yes how to upgrade as license for ports came along with Device and we do not have any PAC/PAK or license file as it came

with license

Also we have seen 2 files availabe for download (m9100-s2ek9-kickstart-mz.5.2.8b.bin and m9100-s2ek9-mz.5.2.8b.bin) which to use

Thanks and Regards

Jose

Hello Jo BO,

Good to hear that issue was solved.
As I mentioned before, the TF port in the mds 9124 isn't supported.

Follow the reference:
