Hello Everyone,
From reviewing the following KB, I know that VMware is providing limited support for FCOE when virtualizing Microsoft Failover Clusters with shared disks:
VMware KB: Microsoft Clustering on VMware vSphere: Guidelines for Supported Configurations
In our case, our servers are HP blades (e.g. BL460c Gen8) with FlexFabric adapters installed in C7000 enclosures with Virtual Connect (VC) devices providing the SAN and Network connectivity. The VC devices are requiring us to configure HBAs as FCOE devices for the blade servers. However, the physical connection from the VCs to the SAN switches are FC cabling.
Does anyone know if this is technically supported by VMware? Is anyone running a similar setup with virtual FCOE adapters and having success/issues?
Thanks much!
