yep, we're doing FCoE in an EMC Symettric, ESX, Nexus environment. All of o=
ur 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 -- i=
f you dropped on uplink , ie testing failover, throughput dropped to crap fo=
r disk i/o., that issue only cleared after a power cycle of the server. Qlo=
gic never fixed the issue so we RMAd nearly 30k in 10gb CNA cards and swappe=
d everythibg to fiber. So beware of that. I can get more detail on the aff=
ected cards,etc tomorrow if interested. Our entire production VMware enviro=
nment is off that setup.
