HI,
Im not good at configuring N5k, i have configured one before. that worked fine. but right now im facing little problem.
I have configured the n5k Dell complent stroage(FC) and Dell Power edge R730 (CNA card[FCOE])
i have found that using showing the flogi database im getting only the fc port in the outputs,but my fcoe ports are not found.

Problem found in CNA card of the HOST.
I swapped the CNA with a good one and after that flogi database showed the vfc.
Im pretty unlucky that among 4 servers i found 3 of them faulty !!!!

That's really weird. Usually depending on the CNA, say for example Emulex they usually have a app on the server to configure the FCoE configurations.
Glad you where able to figure out the issue.
