Cisco Nexus 5010 FCOE Interconnection

Question

Hi, i would really apreciate your help on this  doubt.
Is it possible to create a link between two cisco nexus 5010
using  CNA interfaces ?
I've already configured the ethernet interfaces(where the cna is plugged in),
i've binded the E1/2, mapped the vsan, created specific traffic vlan, and so on ...
I have  tried everything what's written in the manual but the vcf interface won't set up, keeps telling me "vcf is down" .
What am i doing wrong ? or this connection is imposible ...
Thanks in advance.

!!!here's vfc15 and it's associated interface

I'd use this to get a look at FIP
ethanalyzer local sniff-interface inbound-hi detailed-dissection display-filter vlan.etype==0x8914 limit-captured 200 write bootflash:fipcap1.pcap
This is assuming that your eth1/2 is working and up.
reply w/your associated show commands
show fcoe vlan
show feature | grep np
show interface brief | grep -i fc
show vsan
sho run inter vfc x
show run inter eth x/y
show inter eth x/y status
other questions
1. what OS?
2. what vendor of CNA card?
