Hi All,
I have 3 C240 servers connected to a Nexus 5548. I want to configure FCoE across to them and i have configured the exact same configuration on 6 ports:
vlan 10
fcoe vsan 10
vsan database
vsan 10
device-alias mode enhanced
device-alias database
device-alias name XenServer1_fc0 pwwn 20:00:c0:67:af:2d:d0:07
device-alias name XenServer1_fc1 pwwn 20:00:c0:67:af:2d:d0:08
device-alias name XenServer2_fc0 pwwn 20:00:b0:fa:eb:36:11:6f
device-alias name XenServer2_fc1 pwwn 20:00:b0:fa:eb:36:11:70
device-alias name XenServer3_fc0 pwwn 20:00:b0:fa:eb:36:11:1b
device-alias name XenServer3_fc1 pwwn 20:00:b0:fa:eb:36:11:1c

However Only 1 of the C240s can Flogi into the Nexus switch:
N5K01# show flogi database
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTERFACE VSAN FCID PORT NAME NODE NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
vfc5 10 0x150000 20:00:c0:67:af:2d:d0:07 10:00:c0:67:af:2d:d0:07
[XenServer1_fc0]
vfc6 10 0x150040 20:00:c0:67:af:2d:d0:08 10:00:c0:67:af:2d:d0:08
[XenServer1_fc1]
Total number of flogi = 2.
The other C240s are not logging in and are stuck in initiazing state.
N5K01# show interface vfc1
vfc1 is trunking
Bound interface is Ethernet1/1
Hardware is Ethernet
Port WWN is 20:00:54:7f:ee:3c:b4:ff
Admin port mode is F, trunk mode is on
snmp link state traps are enabled
Port mode is TF
Port vsan is 10
Trunk vsans (admin allowed and active) (10)

What could be the possible issue??

Its ok guys, found the issue.
On the C240s, under the 'inventory' then 'properties' than 'Cisco VIC adaptors' than 'vHBAs' you have to have boot enabled for it to flogi into the Nexus.
