下記を見ると、FCoEライセンスを有効にすればStorage VDCが作成できる。
Storage VDCs
The storage VDC is one of the nondefault VDCs and it does need a license. However, a storage VDC does not need a VDC license because it relies on the FCoE license installed to enable the FCoE function on the modules. Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2(1) for the Nexus 7000 Series devices, you can run FCoE on the F1, F2 and F2e Series modules, depending upon your specific release version. You can create separate storage VDCs to run FCoE. You can have only one storage VDC on the device, and you cannot configure the default VDC as a storage VDC.
まず、Nexus 7kでFCoEを設定してみる。
switch(config)# install feature-set ?
fabric FABRIC

fex FEX
mpls MPLSswitch(config)# fea

switch(config)# feature-set ?

FCoEの機能が見つからず、うまくいかない。
まず、Nexus 9kでFCoEを設定してみる。
switch(config)# install feature-set ?
fcoe-npv FCOE-NPV
fex FEX
mpls MPLSswitch(config)# install feature-set fcoe-npv
fcoe-npv is not supported on this card(0x40aa0027)
switch(config)# install feature-set fcoe-npv
fcoe-npv is not supported on this card(0x40aa0027)
FCoEっぽい機能が見つかるも、有効化できず。。。
NexusにFCoEを収容したい時はVDCが必要と分かったのは収穫。
VDCはあきらめるしかないかな。。。
