Operating FCoE using bnx2fc | ||
=========================== | ||
Broadcom FCoE offload through bnx2fc is full stateful hardware offload that | ||
cooperates with all interfaces provided by the Linux ecosystem for FC/FCoE and | ||
SCSI controllers. As such, FCoE functionality, once enabled is largely | ||
transparent. Devices discovered on the SAN will be registered and unregistered | ||
automatically with the upper storage layers. | ||
|
||
Despite the fact that the Broadcom's FCoE offload is fully offloaded, it does | ||
depend on the state of the network interfaces to operate. As such, the network | ||
interface (e.g. eth0) associated with the FCoE offload initiator must be 'up'. | ||
It is recommended that the network interfaces be configured to be brought up | ||
automatically at boot time. | ||
|
||
Furthermore, the Broadcom FCoE offload solution creates VLAN interfaces to | ||
support the VLANs that have been discovered for FCoE operation (e.g. | ||
eth0.1001-fcoe). Do not delete or disable these interfaces or FCoE operation | ||
will be disrupted. | ||
|
||
Driver Usage Model: | ||
=================== | ||
|
||
1. Ensure that fcoe-utils package is installed. | ||
|
||
2. Configure the interfaces on which bnx2fc driver has to operate on. | ||
Here are the steps to configure: | ||
a. cd /etc/fcoe | ||
b. copy cfg-ethx to cfg-eth5 if FCoE has to be enabled on eth5. | ||
c. Repeat this for all the interfaces where FCoE has to be enabled. | ||
d. Edit all the cfg-eth files to set "no" for DCB_REQUIRED** field, and | ||
"yes" for AUTO_VLAN. | ||
e. Other configuration parameters should be left as default | ||
|
||
3. Ensure that "bnx2fc" is in SUPPORTED_DRIVERS list in /etc/fcoe/config. | ||
|
||
4. Start fcoe service. (service fcoe start). If Broadcom devices are present in | ||
the system, bnx2fc driver would automatically claim the interfaces, starts vlan | ||
discovery and log into the targets. | ||
|
||
5. "Symbolic Name" in 'fcoeadm -i' output would display if bnx2fc has claimed | ||
the interface. | ||
Eg: | ||
[root@bh2 ~]# fcoeadm -i | ||

|
||
6. Verify the vlan discovery is performed by running ifconfig and notice | ||
<INTERFACE>.<VLAN>-fcoe interfaces are automatically created. | ||
|
||
Refer to fcoeadm manpage for more information on fcoeadm operations to | ||
create/destroy interfaces or to display lun/target information. | ||
|
||
NOTE: | ||
==== | ||
** Broadcom FCoE capable devices implement a DCBX/LLDP client on-chip. Only one | ||
LLDP client is allowed per interface. For proper operation all host software | ||
based DCBX/LLDP clients (e.g. lldpad) must be disabled. To disable lldpad on a | ||
given interface, run the following command: | ||
|
||
lldptool set-lldp -i <interface_name> adminStatus=disabled |
