I have brought up this thread initially, here's my latest update. I get p2p working with the latest code post on the web using a back 2 back connection on one pair of my set up, both machines have dual processors, 1g Ethernet card. Joe Eykholt has provided me some valuable suggestion during my debugging process, many thanks. However, after duplicate the environment to another pair of machines, with quad processors, 10g Ethernet nic, the target crash right after plogi phase. The reason of its crash is that fcs_local_port_prli_accept() call into scst_init_session() with the target pointer as NULL. The crash happens at the same spot for back 2 back connections and a switch in the middle. So in short, I think the latest code for p2p is working. I believe it can work even with a switch in the middle if configured correctly. For my problem, I will appreciate if some one here who's more familiar with the code path can point me a direction where should I look back to trace this problem. Here's a log trace to show you my problem: Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: fcs_local_port_prli_accept: PRLI callback. remote 10101 local 10102 Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: [6046]: ENTRY scst_register_session Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: [6046]: ENTRY scst_alloc_session Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: [6046]: EXIT scst_alloc_session Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: [6046]: scst_register_session:5031:Adding sess ffff8102099eacb0 to scst_sess_init_list Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: [6046]: EXIT scst_register_session Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: fcs_local_port_prli_accept: accept remote fid 10101 Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: [6024]: scst_mgmt_thread:5162:Removing sess ffff8102099eacb0 from scst_sess_init_list Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: [6024]: ENTRY scst_init_session Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: fc_seq_start: exch 6 f_ctl 800000 seq 0 f_ctl 0 Sep 23 16:26:17 vic100 kernel: [6024]: scst_init_session:4923:c.z., session:0xffff8102099eacb0, init name:2000000743054364, tgt:0x0000000000000000, phase:0
The above tgt pointer is NULL. Thanks very much for any help.

My questions are: 1. First, I'd like to confirm this, and then anyone in the community knows why P2P is not in the first version of FCoE Standard? Any technical reasons? Is this the reason that P2P mode as discussed in the below mails is not working? 2. If i move to the earlier FCoE code(before re-architecture) will it be working, what standard does it follow? 3. If there is no standard, and implementations are out there, I would be concern about interoperability. How do people the community look at this? If this is not the mailing list to talk about all these questions, please excuse me and point me to the correct mailing list. Thanks You all in advance. ~Cheers Prasanna On Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 6:09 AM, Mithlesh Thukral <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Seems like P2P open FCoE is broken for now. > > Regards, > Mithlesh Thukral > > On Saturday 13 September 2008 02:17:13 am charles zhuang wrote: >> Robert, >> Seems the p2p mode between initiator and sw target is broken for the >> re-architecture code, I likely to know how do you guys test the >> initiator when you do the re-arch?
