Implementing FCoE in the Linux Operating System Setting-up FCoE for RHEL 6.2 Installing / verifying FCoE support 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. Figure 24. No FCoE support is installed. 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. Figure 25. Mounting the installation media. 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. Figure 26. Installing FCoE support. 25

Setting-up FCoE for RHEL 6.2
Installing / verifying FCoE support
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.
No FCoE support is installed.
Figure 24.
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.
Mounting the installation media.
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
.
