The switch only see 1 port for 4 virtual ports. How can you affect Vlan like iSCSI to only one virtual port ?<br />Do you need to use M8424-k to do this, as this swith should be aware of de several virtual ports ?<br />Regards,Flo, Mélinda & Noémiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08983487615055331179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991424965072200600.post-55524853927741893812012-05-25T00:26:18.133-06:002012-05-25T00:26:18.133-06:00http://www.qlogic.com/OEMPartnerships/Dell/Documen...http://www.qlogic.com/OEMPartnerships/Dell/Documents/Converged/Dell_QLogic_NPAR.pptx<br /><br />That's for the QLogic, and you can do all the config for it within the QLogic boot configuration (no need to go into DELL USC), refer to slide 9 & 10.Roityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774352936127646364noreply@blogger.com
