I'm setting up a new VM environment, and I can't seem to get my hosts to see/talk/ping my storage array and visa versa.
3 - Dell R740 hosts
1 - Nimble Storage Array
Connected by a pair of S5048F-ON's (VLTi) specifically to isolate Storage and vMotion traffic
My Storage VLAN is 11
My vMotion VLAN is 22
My three hosts can ping themselves and each other.
My storage can see itself.
I can't get the storage and hosts to ping/see each other.
All 4 devices are plugged into an interface range with identical tagging for 22 and 11.
What am I missing so these devices can talk to each other?

I was trying to figure out what the problem was. I could not be sure what the problem was with this configuration. Can you share of switch service tags, please? Let me check this with my colleagues and try to find out an answer.
Appears the switch configurations are good to go. I located the issue on the Nimble Array. Apparently after the initial setup, the storage interface has an additional setting provided to associate the subnet with a specific VLAN. Once I made this adjustment, everything is communicating as expected. Thank you very much for taking a look at the configurations for me. Good to know overall the configurations appear appropriate.
