Hey everyone, I've not forgotten about this. I plan on writing up the detail on our FCoE experiences on Monday and will post it here. Have a few things going on today and this weekend that are going to prevent me from keeping focused on this. David. On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 12:50 PM, Tom Ammon <tom.ammon@utah.edu> wrote:

yep, we're doing FCoE in an EMC Symettric, ESX, Nexus environment. All of our FCoE is over 10gb CNAs. We are having good results, though we hit an odd bug on QLogics cards initially on pur HP DL 580s (affected twinax only -- if you dropped on uplink , ie testing failover, throughput dropped to crap for disk i/o., that issue only cleared after a power cycle of the server. Qlogic never fixed the issue so we RMAd nearly 30k in 10gb CNA cards and swapped everythibg to fiber. So beware of that. I can get more detail on the affected cards,etc tomorrow if interested. Our entire production VMware environment is off that setup.

Does anyone know of any company or organization deploying FCoE[1] in a production environment? I'm curious how widely adopted this technology is.
