Hello, I'm hoping someone out there has had this problem and knows the solution, or can provide some insight as to whether the problem is with the CNA, Host OS, or Nexus. I've not yet posted anything to the Brocade discussion forums about this issue...

I understand that the 1000v only supports a single vCenter server, but does it support multiple VMWare data-centers? If so, how?

I'm trying to connect a pair of Nexus 5532UP's, with vPC, to a Nexus 1000v. I'm running 4.2.1.SV1.4a. When I add the server's physical NICs to the dVS in vCenter, they fail to come up on the VSM and report link down (NoPortProfile). If I take "chan...

As mentioned earlier, Cisco said the problem appears to be with the Brocade 1020 CNA. More specifically, Cisco analyzed traces from the interfaces and said the Brocade adapter was (and I'm paraphrasing) sending negotiation frames out of order, "conf...
