MDS 9506 switch-A configuration
 Upgrade the MDS switch with minimum system version MDS NX-OS 5.2(6a) or with NX-OS 6.2(3) if you use Broadcom
FlexFabric adapters.
Note: A minimum version is required as the Cisco MDS 9000 10-Gbps 8-Port FCoE Module is only supported with MDS
NX-OS 5.2(6a) or later.
Note: With 534FLR-SFP+, 534FLB, 534M adapters, the Cisco MDS 9000 10-Gbps 8-Port FCoE Module is only supported
with NX-OS 6.2(3).
Note: Refer to SPOCK C-Series FCoE Switch Connectivity stream and C-Series FC Switch Connectivity stream for
additional information at http://h20272.www2.hp.com/Pages/spock2Html.aspx?htmlFile=hw_switches.html
 Enable FCoE and LACP on the switch (disabled by default):
o configure terminal
o install feature-set fcoe
o feature-set fcoe
o feature lacp
 Associate each VLAN with a VSAN for each FCoE networks:
o vlan 200
o fcoe vsan 200
o vlan 300
o fcoe vsan 300
Note: Enabling FCoE on VLAN 1 is not supported.
Note: Make sure that these VLAN IDs are the same as the first Shared Uplink Set FCoE’s VLAN IDs in VCM.
 Create a port channel between the MDS-A and the Nexus switch A with eth2/1 and eth2/2 from the Cisco MDS 9000
10-Gbps 8-Port FCoE Module:
o interface ethernet 2/1-2
o channel-group 100 mode active
 Create a trunk on the port channel interface to pass the FCoE VLANs 200 and 300:
o interface ethernet-port-channel 100
o switchport description FCoE Port Channel to Nexus-A-eth1/19-20
o switchport mode trunk
o switchport trunk allowed vlan 200, 300
 Create a virtual Fibre Channel interface for the FCoE Port Channel connected to Nexus-A:
o interface vfc1000
o description vfc for Nexus-A
o bind interface ethernet-port-channel 100
o switchport mode E
o switchport trunk allowed vsan 200
o switchport trunk allowed vsan add 300
o switchport trunk mode on
o no shutdown
 Configuration of the Fibre Channel ports connected to the storage arrays:
o interface fc1/1
