Hi All,   There used to be an excellent ESN Support Matrix on the CCA5 pages (copy attached) but since CCA5 has been replaced by Solve Engine, the CCA5 site has been discontinued.   Does anybody know where this Matrix is located/uploaded to now? Thanks Hans

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/storage-networking/mds-9700-series-multilayer-directors/data_sheet_c78-727769.html We are planning to migrate or do a hardware refresh from MDS9509 to MDS9710. As of now our environment has only 1 vsan, We have purchased a fully populated MDS971

Hello, I am trying to make some changes and I am getting Fabric Locked errors? There is no one else logged in but me, however, i am at the data center and having bad network reception and having drops in between actions. How do I get rid of the locks? Thanks! Admingirl

Data center networking has always been a gray area for me, but I always want to learn it. I have spent sometime reading documents about MAN & WAN, and now I would like to have your expertise in it. I understand SAN Network Solutions are purely based on the application latency tolerance level, yo

Hello, At our DR site we have not purchased a Director Class switch for our environment. Instead, we have purchased two pairs(4) of MDS 9148s for our arrays, servers, data domain, etc. The configuration would be two fabrics, 1 pair for VSAN 100 fabric A, the other pair for VSAN 200 fabric B. I

Hello, Does EMC support Inter-Switch Link configuration between EMC Connectrix and third vender's switch? How / where can we check that? I generated "Advanced Query Product & Table Relationship Schema" by Advanced Query of E-LAB INTEROPERABILITY NAVIGATOR. But I don't understand how I look a

    Not sure at what FOS level this came in but in my fabrics the switches are logging lots of errors stating the transmit performance is above the high boundary of 10%.  I really want to set this higher but have not found anywhere that this is documented.  This is on a Broc

Hello, We have 2 X 24 port DS 300B switches and looking to upgrade the port with 48 ports. Can we make the old 2 X 24 port switch as one switch with 48 ports and ISL ? I believe we need to have ISL for trunking. Should we need trunking license for ISL if i don't need any link aggregati

Should we configure all SAN ports to work on the fastest possible speed or would configuring all ports to work at the same speed be the best practice? I know, "it depends", but when random high latency shows up it's hard to find the actual slowest device on the whole SAN environment. So set ev

Hello, I have a Brocade SAN fabric (DCX-8510-8 switches ) in current datacenter. I would like to migrate to a new datacenter which is 100km away using broacde extended fabrics. Here is the plan. Please tell me if this will work: Install new DCX-8510-8 switches in new datacenter and connect n

Just wondering how other folks are doing their zoning. Is it better to use a single initiator/single target or single initiator/multiple target when creating a zone? Example: ESXi host has HBA1 and HBA2 Two Brocade 6520 FC switches (two fabrics): SW1 and SW2 EMC VMAX with eight FC ports (1-

Hi I have been trying to upgrade the firmware on a EMC connectrix DS-300B FC switch, but are not able to. I am logged in with the admin account, and am using the 3CDeamon as my ftp server, on a Windows 2008 R2 box with the firewall turned off. It doesn't matter what I do, I keep on getting t

A Brocade USB drive is required in order for our Remote Support teams (RCM) to implement a switch/director upgrade. Is this part orderable in Direct Express and if so, does anyone know the direct express model number? I have not been successful finding the part using the direct express product sear

HI experts ... Anybody know a good manual or White Paper or any kind of info about peer zoning ? As I am not sure this exactly .... and not much info about Peer Zoning .. Let me know if there is any good source ! thanks ! aya

Hi all, My Brocade SAN's include lots of HP C7000 servers with Virtual Connect (NPIV). When CMCNE discovers these, it lists them as Access Gateways because they're doing NPIV. Since CMCNE can't log in to a C7000, it shows their status as not reachable. I'm sure it's harmless but it feels a little

We remove 2 switches from the fabric because the switches reached the End of Serivce Life. But, the switches still appears in the Connectrix Manager with a red symbol. How we remove the switches from the Connectrix Manager?. Thanks in advance. Regards Roberto

Good morning to all, I'm here to ask a question... I've got two MDS9513, each in a different building. They are connected via ISL port-channel. Let's call them MDS1 and MDS2 MDS2 is connected also to a Nexus 5K (N5K1), via ISL port-channel as well, so connectivity from MDS1 to N5K1 is allowed

Hello, I've had to do this in pieces and so I apologize for the 2nd post. I thank Dynamox for getting me going with this task. I had to create the ISL(via command line), and turn it up on both switches since we had problems with the new patch panel associated with our switch, line card connectivi

So I got 2 DS4700M Switches and connected each other with a file-server. The transfer of files is working and i cant see any errors when i am copying files, but it still bothers me: What purpose does have the control processor card if the transfer of files is fine? regards Jens K.

Hello, I have only done this task one time before so I am a little rusty. I need to add a switch into an existing fabric, actually one in each fabric A and B. I will configure the switches, then assign it a domain id greater than the core switch. I don't remember what to do after that, and I c
