You have a two-node NetApp clustered Data ONTAP storage system, a Cisco UCS system with two Fabric Interconnects, and a dual-fabric (Fabric-A and Fabric-B) Fibre Channel topology with the information shown below.

– Node 01 has one 10Gb FCoE connection to Fabric-A and one 10Gb FCoE connection to Fabric-B.

– Node 02 has one 10Gb FCoE connection to Fabric-A and one 10Gb FCoE connection to Fabric-B.

– Fabric Interconnect A has a two-port FCoE port channel to Fabric-A

– Fabric Interconnect B has a two-port FCoE port channel to Fabric-B.

– Each IOM in the Cisco UCS blade chassis has four uplinks into the Fabric Interconnects.

– A service profile running VMware ESXi has one vHBA in Fabric-A and one vHBA in Fabric-B.
