Adding a FCOE host to VNX 5300
I have run into a wall and am looking for some advice.
I am trying to add my ESX5 servers to my storage group but I can not seem to get the right process.
I have plugged in the fcoe ports to the nexus and from the enxus to the esx servers. (I can pass traffic over nexus from esx)
I went to add an host initiator to unisphere, but after filling out the form, the ok button is not enabled.
I have also tried to add the vcenter server to the virtualzation page and the server shows up fine, but it does not list the hosts under it.
What am I doing wrong?

if everything is setup correctly, ESXi will login to the array and register itself automatically in Connectivity Status. At that point you provision storage as if you would for any other hosts.

did you do the config on the Nexus ( create vfc, assign it to an Ethernet port, configure VSAN, zones ..etc)

Are there any specific emc settings that should be on the nexus?
below is the nexus config.
The VLAN / VSAN for the Nexus A is 3210.
The VLAN / VSAN for the Nexus B is 3211.
Nexus A (VLAN/VSAN: 3210):
interface port-channel511

switchport trunk allowed vlan 501,3210

yes, I beleive the nexus was configured properly. I am waiting on a copy of the full config from the vendor to verify the zones.

hi
we have a similar setup (3 nodes UCS with vSphere 4.1 U1) and one nexus 5010 (no vPC) and one VNX 5300 FCOE.
we are unable to see/set host in storage group in unisphere...

there is nothing special that needs to be done on the array to use FCOE, as long as the FCOE ports are connected using active twinax or MM fiber you are set. The rest of the configuration that handles connectivity is done on your switches.

on nexus we can see the ucs pwwn but nothing coming "from" the vnx. the vnx interface is configured exactly as shown in this post (trunk with native vlan on fcoe vlan).

So looking at my zones and comparing it to my wnn's I have a question. When my wwn looks like 50:06:01:60:BE:A0:24:95:50:06:01:64:3E:A0:24:95 is the underlined part the wwn that you use in the zone?(I am still waiting on the sh vlan fcoe and sh flogi data as I do not have direct access to the nexus yet)

Run: sho interface brief
Paste the output here. Also let us know which ports the VNX is connected to

yes, first part is node WWN, second part is port WWN ..that's what you zone to.

you should check the vsan status
show vsan 3210 should give you the vsan state (taking into account you don't have flogi session you'll see state down)

on older code FCOE QOS setting were not enabled by default on the switch, can you double check to make sure these are set:
Nexus # sh class-map
Type qos class-maps
===================
class-map type qos match-any class-fcoe
match cos 3
class-map type qos match-any class-default
match any
class-map type qos match-any class-all-flood
match all flood
class-map type qos match-any class-ip-multicast
match ip multicast
Type queuing class-maps
=======================
class-map type queuing class-fcoe
match qos-group 1
class-map type queuing class-default
match qos-group 0
class-map type queuing class-all-flood
match qos-group 2
class-map type queuing class-ip-multicast
match qos-group 2
