https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/virtual-connect-mds-switch-migration/m-p/5277412#M17331 Hi all, we have a C7000 enclosure with 2 VC 4Gb FC modules. Currently, they are connected to MDS9216 fabric switches with no problem. We have mirrored the port setup on new MDS 9148 switches. However, when I move the connection over, I am having some issues. The port comes up on the switch side but I get INIT-FAILURE on the HP/VC side. Is there additional configuration required on the C7000 enclosure/VC setup?

Thanks.
