wwn scope

I'm using BL465 G9 which boots accurately from SAN 3par storage and VMware ESXi OS starts.

Virtual Connect is installed into server and there are 2 FCoE Flex HBA ports which are up.

VMware shows down links on both interfaces.

I noted when I enter in server BIOS I can see both wwn of 2 hba in san switch fabric while as sson as VMware OS is started WM disappears on SAN switch (wwn currently not in any fabric)

Some ideas ?

Hi RiclyLeRoy ,

Probably we are dealing with a driver issue?

Could you please check if the firmware and driver for the HBA is updated to the latest version and then check again?

I solved.

I set for every HBA port only one san boot device while prevously I had set 2 san boot devices for every hba (crossing path).
