Interconnecting CIsco MDS 9222i to the HP C-Blade enclosute VC-FC Virtual connect module

Hi,
Anyone had the experience of interconnecting the CIsco MDS 9222i to an HP Blade system through the VC-FC virtual connect module?
When i connect my MDS switch to the module, the VC-FC ports dont log in to the MDS. Could i be missing out on something? I have configured the MDS to use the default VSAN 1 and tried configuring the ports as F-ports but nothing worked, even with the port mode put on auto they still take on the F-port role and still the VC-FC module doesnt log in.
Your help and support will be appreciated

i wanna use the CLI though i also have the fabric manager at my disposal. would you kindly
share a sanitised version of ur running config for the mds that does the FCIP replication to the DR i see if i can make head out of it then i
f i face any challenge will holla at u. you can email me [email protected]
My set up is as follows, ive got 2 MDS 9222i at the primary site in active-standby mode, one connects to the active VC while the other connects to the standby VC of the blade system. Then i have a similar set up for the DR. Good thing is that am first setting everything up here in my Data Centre, then test before sending the configured equipment to the DR. So i have much freedom to get dirty with the equipment, and its not a live environment yet.
Kindly let me know the step-by-step procedure of having the FCIP set up.

Cisco MDS 9222i 10G Module DS-X9704 supports FCoE

Hi, Whether Cisco MDS 9222i 10G Module DS-X9704 supports FCoE? i saw IP over FC in the data sheet of this module but not FCoE?
Thanks
Abhilash

Also whether this 10 G interface can work as an Ethernet port and not just a FiberChannel port?

Cisco MDS 9418 switch doubt

Hi Team,
We have an issue, whether the cisco MDS 9418 switch supports FCIP feature.
We are planning to migrate the data from our old data center over WAN to the EMC VNX storage box in other location.
In our old data center we have 2 FC cisco switches connected to the EMC clariion storage array. Inorder to replicate data from clariion box to EMC VNX box over WAN ,it can be done via FCIP.
I wanted to know if we can use insert the FCIP converters into these MDS 9418 switch or do we need to have separate FCIP converters.
Do we need FCIP converters on both sides for doing replication over FCIP.
For clear understanding please see the attachment.
Will waiting for your response......
Regards,
Pranav.

Hi,
Since the 9148 does not have IP interfaces, something will be needed to tunnel the FC into IP (FCIP) such as an MDS 9222i, which has both FC interfaces and GigE interfaces and supports FCIP.

David

Scsi device discovery in Cisco MDS switches

I was using this device discovery to find out how many luns can be seen on that server.
I tried to use discover scsi-target command and it does not give much useful information. and I do not want to add the OS WWNS on my LUN security in addition to HBA WWNS for the host group on the array end.
The problem that I am having is that I can see 7 LUNs out of 9 when I connect to Cisco MDS where as in brocade I can see all the LUNs.
I checked the LUN security and zoning and everything seems to be correct.
If Cisco SAN OS has commands where by I can see what LUNs can be seen on the switch, that would be really helpful. But It looks like LUN/LDEV info cannot be seen through discover command.
Please let me know how to troubleshoot this problem
Thanks

In the array, I tried to add switch wwn to the LUN Security and zoned the same switch wwn on the MDS. Is there anything I am missing. Thanks in advance
But still I could not see any LUNs. When I do discover command, NLUNS shows 0.
and the command sh scsi-target lun os win shows nothing.
discover scsi-target vsan 21 fcid 0xea000b os win
VSAN: 21 FCID: 0xea000b

Using Cisco MDS 9148 switch for switching and routing

Hi Gurus,
Can you please advice me! Can i configure interface trunking, routing and dhcp services on the Cisco MDS 9148 switch?
Thanks for your response!!

Tommy,
MDS9148 is a Storage SAN Fibre Channel switch, it doesn't support Ethernet, IP, VLANs, VLAN trunking, 802.1Q, IP routing, DHCP. It's meant for Fibre Channel connectivity between Fibre Channel server HBAs and Fibre Channel storage.

Port-Channel issue between UCS FI and MDS 9222i switch

Hi
I have a problem between UCS FI and MDS switch port-channel. When MDS-A is powered down the port-channel fails but UCS blade vHBA does not detect the failure of the port-chanel on UCS-FI and leaves the vHBA online. However, if there is no port-channel between FI-->MDS it works fine.

It happens only when following conditions are met

FC uplinks are configured for portchannel + trunking
Certain link event failures ( such abrupt power loss by upstream MDS switch )

WWN does not show up on Cisco SAN Switch

We use Cisco SAN Switches MDS 9134 and MDS9222i with NX-IOS 4.2.(3). Our HP c7000 blade enclosure is connect through a Fibre Channel Virtual Connect Card to the SAN switches. For so far is everything working Oke. Now is the problem when I connect the 8th and 9th Blade Server (BL860c i2 Integrity Server) to the c7000 enclosure non of the wwn's show up on the Cisco Switch. Neither on the MDS9134 as the MDS9222i.Firmware on the HP Blade is up to date. The Onboard Administrator show that the HBA's are logged-in to Virtual Connect.
Does anyone know solution for this issue.
Best Regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,
The output of "show flogi database" will show you all the wwn's of devices connected directly to a particular
switch.
Is NPV involved in your topology?

Cisco MDS series switch details

Hello I 'm new to CISCO Switch world.
I 'm working as Clariion Admin and have have taken up the responsibilty to manage switches.Since,i am a novice i need little guidance on how work on cisco switches.I know the Zoning (how zoning done on MDS 9000 series switches) part ,but would like to venture deep into the details on CISCO MDS series switches.
Like, the use of Port channels etc.
Will really appreciate if some one can help me with a link or place ( not the configuration guide) where in i can find details on concentrated more on the theory part .
Thanks in advance!

Actually the best info is in the configuration guides. There are some external companies that run training sessions on the MDS to provide in depth training. There is the MDS cookbook available on CCO that is also a good point of information. If you search on 'MDS white papers' after you login into Cisco.com, there are several good documents that might meet your needs.
Hope this hels,
Mike

Does cisco MDS 9000 switch by default set a little higher R_T_TOV?

Hi, All:
Not sure anyone has done LOS for cisco MDS 9000 switch before. I tried to insert code violation which is equal to 103ms but only see link reset but not NOS/OLS. is it because that Cisco MDS has default higher ? Or can we set R_T_TOV on switch?

Hi Larry - [this|http://lists.apple.com/archives/usb/2008/Oct/msg00021.html] was the only thing I could find about transactions timing out, but since you don't have anything plugged in, it really doesn't apply. Have you tried resetting your SMU?
If that doesn't work, run Disk Utility from your install disc and see what it comes up with. Your suspicion that the MB may be faulty is probably correct, and if you are still within the 90 day warrant period, you should call the repair place and have them replace it yet again.

SAN Switch Cisco -16Port

Hi,
Any suggestions for SAN Switch 16 Port ( All Active) from MDS series.
Thanks in advance!!

DCNM-SAN-M91-K9 - very nice to have if you want to track switch utilization, manage multiple fabrics at the same time. Not a must have ..but a nice to have.
M9148PL8-8G-SFP - i believe you must purchase this to activate an extra 8 ports to give you a total of 16 ports.
M9100ENT1K9 - if you have requirements for advances features like IVR then you would need this. If you just need to create zones, VSANs ..you don't need that license.

AAA and Cisco MDS switches.........

have configured Cisco ACS 4.0 (TACACS) with Windows AD for all Cisco MDS switches and it is working fine. But local "admin" access to the Cisco MDS switches via telnet is not working. At the same time , if I create a user with "network-admin" role locally, that works but not the default admin user.
Could anyone help me in this regard.

local. Below is the script I used to configure TACACS (Cisco ACS 4.0) on Cisco MDS switches.
config t
# Enable TACACS+
tacacs+ enable
tacacs-server host nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn key 0 xxxxxx
tacacs-server host mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm key 0 xxxxx
# Specify TACACS+ Server groups
aaa group server tacacs+ tacgrp
server nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
server mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm
aaa authentication login default group tacgrp
aaa authentication login console local
# Enable TACACS+ Accounting
aaa accounting default group tacgrp local
end
copy running-config startup-config
Thanks
