Flexfabric 5700 - fcoe configuration advice

Hey fellow networkers

I'v begun the configuration of our net converged network setup - fcoe and data traffic in the same two switches.

My setup is currently:

2x HPE FlexFabric 5700 with 40x 10g ports - uplinked to core switch for LAN/gateway access. SAN with fcoe modules 3x esxi hosts. 2x dual port 10g nic for each host.

The regular switching, i'v got covered.

Im kinda looking for actual advice on the fcoe configuration of the flexfabric switches. I have found a guide from HPE but im a bit unsure exactly how to go about it.

Does anyone have any experience using these switches as converged switches for both? - and if so, how have you configured your fcoe ports (uplink and host connections).

Finally. What about the inter switch connection, have you connected the flexfabric switches to eachother, or have you seperated them entirely?

Thanks in advance
