I have sever Dell R720 Running ESXi 5.1 these servers use FCOE on intel 2P-x520 10 GB modules
And cisco Nexus 5500 Switches for FCOE and networking.
When I upgraded to 5.5 from 5.1 the WWNs changed from the physical ones to the virtual wwns as shown on the attached screen shot.
Both the 5.1 and 5.5 install used dells OEM of the ESXi installation. I used update manager to upgrade the server.
My questions are:
What are the virtual WWNs used for?
Why would the install change from the physical to the virtual ones?
IF I rezone to the virtual WWNS what problems will that cause?
I have cases open with both VMware and dell but I am not getting very far. I was hoping someone else would be able to shed some light on the issue
