Hello,
We have ESXi 6.5 update 3 running on Cisco B200 blades using 6248 Fabric interconnects.
We have purchased new 6454 fabric interconnects and I have moved 1 chassis and 1 blade to the new FIs for testing.
The blade/ESXi host is connecting and pinging on the network good.
However, if I try to rescan storage it takes 30 minutes and fails. If I try to reboot it takes over an hour and doesn't really attach all storage successfully.
If I unmap all storage it reboots and rescans as normal. It sees the array just fine.
The zoning is connected at 8 Gbps and the FIs say connected at 8 Gbps.
However, VMware says the speed is 0 Gbps. see below output.
I have checked compatibility lists and it seems our fnic, enic, vmware version and ucs version is all compatible.
Has anyone seen this?
Any help is much appreciated!
