MDS 9124 and F Port Channels

[hypnotoad]

Hey all,

I'm trying to get my storage connected to my cool new UCS system. I have two MDS 9124 switche3s running 4.1(3a) code. My UCS system is running 2.03a. I'm running in FC End-Host mode.

I cannot get the port channel to come up. I found this thread that indicates that my 9124 switches don't support F ports in a channel config. Is this true?

Any help in getting these systems talking would be great.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hello Patrick,

You need to upgrade NX-OS on MDS 9124  to support F port channel feature.

Thanks for the document. It looks like I need to be at version 5.0(4). I like the typo in the doc that says NX-SO. Oops. I'll start on the upgrades and see if I can make it go.
