Deploying a Converged Storage Network Using a Cisco FCoE Switch

12. Verify that the CNA is logged in to the switch. To verify that all equipment is logged in and
operating properly:
a. Verify LAN management capability on all devices through the associated device management
application.
b. Verify that servers and converged network adapters are logged in to an FCoE switch under
both Ethernet (eth1/16) and Fibre Channel (vfc116) protocols. Figure 3 shows the Device
Manager interface for the Cisco Nexus 5000 FCoE switch.

13. Save your configuration.
switch(config)# copy run start
switch(config)# exit
Saving the configuration copies the running configuration to the startup configuration, which is
preserved across reboots. The running configuration is a temporary copy and is lost during a
reboot.
Configuring Storage
Depending on your storage, you may connect directly to the FCoE switch through FCoE with native
FCoE storage, or through other methods (Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS, CIFS). Consult your storage
array documentation for instructions on how to enable your array and assign disk storage LUNs. The
storage installed for this report was two 4 Gb Fibre Channel storage systems (a Sun ZFS Storage
Appliance and a Sun Storage 6180 Array).
Verifying Equipment Connectivity
When the LUNs have been created and all zoning is complete, use the management interface to add
the WWNs of the converged network adapter Fibre Channel initiators to your storage so that the
servers can discover the LUNs.

and the Sun Storage 6180 Array.
