Implementing FCoE in the Linux Operating System 4. After package installation is complete, you can then change back to the home directory and unmount your installation media by running the cd ~ and umount /media command, as in Figure 27. Figure 27. Unmounting the installation media. Configuring the FCoE client VLAN To configure the FCoE client VLAN, perform the following steps: 1. Change directory to /etc/fcoe, and copy the /etc/fcoe/cfg-ethx file to /e4tc/fcoe/, where is the name of the specific network interface over which FCoE traffic flows. In this example, we will use the interface name p3p1. See Figure 28 for details. Figure 28. Creating the FCoE Adapter Configuration file. 2. Then edit the /etc/fcoe/cfg-p3p1 file and set DCB_REQUIRED variable to "no", as in Figure 29. Figure 29. Setting the DCB_REQUIRED variable to "no". 3. Next, check the /etc/fcoe/config file, and verify that the SUPPORTED_DRIVERS variable is set to "fcoe bnx2fc", as in Figure 30. 26

Configuring the FCoE client VLAN
To configure the FCoE client VLAN, perform the following steps:
1.
Change directory to
/etc/fcoe
, and copy the
/etc/fcoe/cfg-ethx
file to
/e4tc/fcoe/<interface>
, where
<interface>
is the name of the specific network
interface over which FCoE traffic flows. In this example, we will use the interface name
p3p1
.
See Figure 28 for details.

Then edit the
/etc/fcoe/cfg-p3p1
file and set
DCB_REQUIRED
variable to
"no"
, as in
Figure 29.

Next, check the
/etc/fcoe/config
file, and verify that the
SUPPORTED_DRIVERS
variable
is set to
"fcoe bnx2fc"
, as in Figure 30.
