Since I don't think the process for the rearch is well documented yet, if you try it, once you get a good download: - extract it to wherever you wan the kernel source (e.g. /usr/src/kernels on a Red Hat box) - copy a good .config from another kernel build into the upstream kernel directory - Run make menuconfig and select libfc and then fcoe from the Device Drivers -> SCSI device support -> SCSI low-level drivers - Build, install and reboot to the new kernel - To enable fcoe (modprobe fcoe if it is compiled as a module) and echo the ethernet interface into /sys/module/fcoe/create virtual file (on my current system the command is "echo eth2 > /sys/module/fcoe/create - To disable fcoe echo the ethernet interface into /sys/module/fcoe/destroy virtual file - Details about the fcoe interfac can then be found by catting out virtual files in /sys/class/fc_host/hostX/ directory (e.g.j> cat /sys/class/fc_host/host3/port_id for the FCID.) - Enjoy! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Finally was able to download the source code for the initiator and it works well, I am able to see the port_id and the fabric name.
