we refer a Cisco TAC document attached with this post and following it. In our environment , we have following :-
1) Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V hosts (UCS B200 M4 Blade servers) are not configured for SAN boot but from local storage.
2) We are neither using SCVMM client nor we are using failover cluster manager. We are managing Virtual machines only through Hyper-v Manager on separate physical hosts.
3) Storage is EMC and we have external FC switch as Brocade 6510.
4) FC uplinks are in End host mode in UCS FI.
We have also referred Cisco UCS to Brocade connectivity guide published by Cisco attached with this post.
With our configuration, WWPNs of ucs vHBAs are able to hit on storage and through this , we are able to see LUNs on Hyper-v Physical host. But , as we want Virtual machines to boot from SAN, so with Fiber channel adapters created on Hyper-v Virtual SAN manager, we are unable to get LUNs on Virtual machines. (we are following attached document 116471 for this). This is the problem.
The way, UCS vHBA WWPN hits on brocade switch and also with show npv flogi table in FIs, we identify that which cisco UCS FC uplinks the ucs vHBAs are dynamically assigned to. In the same way, WWPNs of Fiber channel Adapters on Hyper-V vSAN manager are unable to hit on brocade switch and this time, with show npv flogi table command, we get the same status as mentioned earlier.
So, please suggest , where are we missing out ? Do we need to manually add the zoning on Brocade 6510 switches, I mean do we need to manually add the WWPNs of hyper-v fiber channel adapters to brocade switches in order to make sure that they can access the LUNs on VMs.
But storage person says that these Hyper-V WWPNs should atleast hit on brocade switch first. Here we are getting confused.
Kindly suggest.
