Hi,

I'm new in nexus world, i just test some switches and i have problem:

There is one switch 5548 with version 6.0(2)N1(2a). I try to make fcoe 
conenction between xenserver 6.1 (port 1/25) and linux fcoe target ( 
centos, port 1/26).

In both servers i have card: Cisco Systems Inc VIC FCoE HBA (rev a2), on 
centos (target side) all looks good but from xenserver i don't see any 
traffic. In xencenter i see the cisco card connected but when try to 
discover new storage, xencenter don't find anything.


thanks for any help or clue

regards,
Piotr
