Hello,
Does anyone have steps on how to configure Nexus 5k for native fc to a storage controller? See topology:
[SERVER] hba <------> FC Port [NEXUS 5548UP] FC Port <-------> FC Port [STORAGE ARRAY]
Any info that anyone could provide regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Teddy
Assuming you use the last two ports as FC-ports:
feature fcoe (this includes the native FC-features)
slot 1
port 31-32 type fc
reload switch
vsan database
vsan 10
interface fc1/31-32
switchport mode F
no shut
vsan database
vsan 10 interface fc 1/31
vsan 10 interface fc 1/32
Check FLOGI:
show flogi database vsan 10 (you should see a flogi from each FC port)
ZONIG:
zoneset name ZS-VSAN-10 vsan 10
zone name Z1
member pwnn (PWNN of ARRAY)
member pwnn (PWNN of HBA)
zoneset activate name ZS-VSAN-10 vsan 10

Hi Teddy,
Can you pls share you Nexus 5548 config as I am also trying to connect my 5548up with an FC Storage array. But the ports on Nexus Switch are not coming up
I am connecting as below
Below link is ok But Below port on Nexus not coming up
Blade Server MDS Switch FC Port <-------> FC Port [NEXUS 5548UP] FC Port <-------> FC Port [STORAGE ARRAY]

can you provide the output of "show flogi database" and "show interface brief" ?

Can you please clarify
Blade Server<-----> MDS Switch FC Port <-------> FC Port [NEXUS 5548UP] FC Port <-------> FC Port [STORAGE ARRAY]
- Is this your topology ??
- I can see fc 1/31 as a trunking E-Port ! Is this where you connect your MDS ?
- I can't see any other fc connectivity ? on which port is your storage array connected ?
- are you using VSAN 10 for your host and storage connectivity ?
- show interface fc 1/31, we need to know, which VSAN's are allowed on that link. The ports themselfs are in VSAN 1 !!

Hi Wdey,
Thanks for reply. I want my blade to access my Storage through Nexus 5548up. Storage is connected to port fc 1/32 which shows "fc1/32 is down (Link failure: loss of sync)". Even if use VSAN 1 sitll same,
As you requested below is the fc 1/31

Hi
Something basic must be wrong with your port fc 1/32 connecting the storage; please check the following
- Is the port "no shut"
- is the port on the storage subsystem enabled
- are the MMF cables ok ?
- try swap cable send and receive
- is the sfp ok
- try another N5k port
04-23-2014 01:23 AM
Dear Wdey,
Thanks for your support. Its ok now it was from the storage side. The storage port was set to be as a loop port. So i changed it to point to point the it worked,
Thanks
