Storage VDC Creation

Hi Folks,

Just wondering, when creating a storage VDC, if creating from the default VDC, do we need to enable features lacp & lldp in this VDC?  My thinking is not, and that from a feature point-of-view, only the 'install feature-set fcoe' is needed, and then within the actual storage VDC we enable features fcoe, lacp & lldp ?

Obviously the rest of the pre-requisites in default/admin vdc need to be met (qos config, port allocation etc...)

Thanks

Dominic

    Hello Dominic, yes, that is correct, we need the feature lacp and lldp inside the actual storage vdc . On the admin vdc all we need is system qos, install feature-set fcoe, licence fcoe module before the creation of the storage VDC. 7K does not support lldp by default. 5K does. So in 5k , we don't need to enable the lldp explicitly.

    Thanks parvikram, that's what I thought, but it's not so easy to practise these things!
