The end users report issues with datastore reachability between the newly installed virtual machines (VMs) and the storage array. The VMs are deployed on a Cisco C-Series server, directly connected with Cisco Nexus 5672UP switches over FCoE VLAN. The data traffic on VLAN 99, which is designated as a native VLAN, reaches its default gateway, but FCoE VLAN 99 fails to access the datastore. Which action resolves the problem?
To resolve the issue of the VMs being unable to access the datastore over FCoE, it is essential to configure the FCoE VLAN in the VSAN database before including it in the trunk port. This configuration ensures that the switch correctly recognizes and handles the FCoE traffic, differentiating it from regular data traffic. Without this configuration, the switch may fail to properly direct the FCoE traffic, leading to connectivity issues with the datastore.
I think that FCoE VLAN 99 needs to be configured in the VSAN database for the switch to recognize the traffic as FCoE
