Explanation
On a UCS Fabric Interconnect, any non‐UCS endpoint, like a storage array, must be hooked onto an appliance port. This port-type tells the FI to treat the device as a standalone appliance (not a blade server or uplink) and correctly forward its FCoE/Ethernet traffic into the SAN. Configuring Eth2/2 and Eth2/4 as appliance ports restores connectivity to the shared storage.
