Implementing FCoE in the Linux Operating System

Partition and mount your FCoE LUNs as any other hard disk device.

Configure the FCoE client to start at boot

If you want the FCoE client to start and the FCoE LUNs to automatically be available after every

reboot, configure the appropriate services using chkconfig . To do this, perform the following steps:

1. To enable FCoE at boot time, run the following commands: chkconfig lldpad on and

chkconfig fcoe on , as in Figure 33.

Figure 33.

2. Verify that the services are set to start at boot by running chkconfig --list | grep

lldpad and chkconfig --list | grep fcoe , as in Figure 34.

Figure 34.

Verifying that FCoE services are configured to start at boot time

It is possible for other various conditions to exist on the network that can interfere with FIPS snooping,

particularly on congested networks. If the FCoE client is unable to see the FCoE VLAN after booting, it

is recommend to restart the lldpad and fcoe daemons as a troubleshooting step.

1. To restart the lldpad and fcoe daemons, run the following commands:

service fcoe stop; service lldpad stop; service lldpad start; service fcoe

start

Then check the FCoE VLAN status by running fcoeadm -i . See Figure 35 for details.
