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:
