Thanks Walter. what is the use case of ISL.where should i use it. As i know this is also use in ethernet to configure a trunk port to pass different vlans,but how it is related in san switch,where we can active only one vsan per switch. confused.....

Thanks a Lot walter. After reading your pointers and google search,i found out some learning,below is the summary - 1. i should use 2 vsan as best practice. 2. I should use device alias for zoning- Query- As per the nexus doc we can create device alias in 2 manner,first as direct memeber of zone second create a device alias under fc-alias and add fc alias as member of zone. Please suggest which one is good. 3. I should use F-port channel between UCS and nexus 5K - As per the doc i should use seperate vsan on each FI and N5k and active mode on F-port channel. on FI A side and nexus A side,i will enable vsan 100 on F port channel and on FI B side and nexus B side,i will enable vsan 200 on F port channel. but reffering to below link,person has created 2 vsan on each Nexus and manually enabling vsan on each uplink. https://virtuallymikebrown.com/2013/05/23/cisco-nexus-fibre-channel-configuration-template/ it is still confusing,how will it work. please suggest.should i follow him.

Thanks a Lot walter for your Time and sharing this doc. Really a good technical presentation. After reading this doc,now its clear - 1. I should use 2 vsan 2. i should also use san port-channel. but i have 2 query- 1. should i use manually pin group on FI FC uplinks. 2. should i enable full zonset distribution when we have 2 different vsan on fabric. Thanks kshitij

Thanks a Lot for wonderful Explanation,but my query is why i need 2 VSAN if everything can work well if i use only 1 vsan within infrastructure. is this a best practice to use 2 vsan or there are some benefits to use 2 vsan like fail over,load-balancing. what i can not achieve if i use only 1 vsan.

Kshitij Purwar · ‎09-13-2016

Thanks Walter For your Reply. I read all the docs ,but it is not mention anywhere what is the benefit of using 2 vsan with infrastructure. I have 2 N5K and 2 FI and 3 Storage. i would appreciate if you could please help me to identify of advantage using 2 vsan in infrastructure.

Hi Experts, Please help me to understand VSAN deployment between FI and Nexus 5K over Traditional FC. Should i use 2 different VSAN between FI and N5K or one VSAN on both side would be fine. if there is any reference doc please send me link. i would appreciate your responses. Thanks k

Hi Jim, appreciate your quick reply. I have added Nexus 5020 with UCS FI 6140,my nexus are working fine,but i see timeout for 6140 on san-client as well on summary page. PFA Screen shot.

Kshitij Purwar · ‎04-28-2016

Hi Jim, I really need your help to figure out,can we add UCS 6140 FI to DCNM for configuration/TRAP alerts. Thanks kshitij

Kshitij Purwar · ‎04-20-2016

Thanks walter for your reply. But still i am confused what ports should i use on FI to run FCOE between VNX and FI. as per my understanding we can use only 10G ports on FI to connect VNX FCOE Module to run FCOE traffic,please do let me know if i can run FCOE on FC ports. Please do let me know if my understanding is correct.so based on that i need to order 2 Ports 10G FCOE module for VNX and active twinax cables and other parts which i require for FCOE connectivity.

Kshitij Purwar · ‎04-20-2016

now we both have been frustrated and finally they ask me where exactly i want to deply FCOE on my nexus/MDS/FI. as i know we can configure FCOE only on 10 G Ethernet ports on MDS/FI/Nexus and we require active twinax cables for fcoe connectivity between MDS/NExus/FI to VNX.

Kshitij Purwar · ‎04-20-2016

i want to know if 2 nexus are connected to EMC or FI or another switch through vPC,then traffic will flow only from one N5k or both N5k can transfer data.
