Implementing FCoE in the Linux Operating System

Setting-up FCoE for RHEL 6.2

If FCoE support was not installed in RHEL 6.2, install it. To verify if FCoE support was installed in RHEL

6.2, perform the following steps:

1. Run the following command: rpm -qa | grep fcoe-utils . If no information is returned,

as in Figure 24, then the fcoe-utils package is not installed; it must be installed at this

time.

2. To install the appropriate FCoE support package (for example: install the fcoe-utils

package), insert Disc 1 of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 installation media into your CD/DVD

drive, and then mount the disc to a directory of your choice; in this example, use /media , as

in Figure 25.

3. Next, change directory to /media/Packages , and install the appropriate packages; for

example, if you installed your copy of RHEL 6.2 as a Basic Server , you need the following

packages: libhbaapi; libconfig; lldpad; libpciaccess; libhbalinux;

device-mapper-multipath; device-mapper-multipath-libs; fcoe-utils . See

Figure 26 for details.
