Hi Roy,
There are two versions of FCoE formats:
- The one defined in http://www.t11.org/ftp/t11/pub/fc/bb-4/07-303v0.pdf
- The one defined in http://www.t11.org/ftp/t11/pub/fc/bb-5/07-479v0.pdf
Do you mean that your Nexus switch only support the bb-4 format?
Solaris FCoE only supports the bb-5 format. We have tested
interoperability between Solaris FCoE target and Emulex LP21000-M CNA
initiator across the Nexus switch, so I guess your (or at least the CNA
team's) switch also supports the bb-5 format. The Nexus switch in our
lab has a system version 4.0(0)N1(1a), what's yours?
Thanks,
Zhong

Zhong,
The problem is that I'm using an older Nexus
switch that only works with pre T11 frame format. Is there a way to
modify this parameter in the driver to work with older format?
Thanks,

Hi Roy,
Thanks for trying out Solaris FCoE software!

Hi,
I
have configured a fcoe initiator using
fcoe-nightly-nd-bins-20081121.i386.tar.bz2 build and connected to a
Nexus switch but not seeing the WWN in the Nexus flogi database. The
NIC is Intel 10G XF SR adapter, and I can ping other NICs connected to
the Nexus switch. Is there a special switch setting required or is
there a workaround to make this work.
Which OpenSolaris release are you using with the FCoE initiator? Please
run "mdb -k" as root and issue "*fcoe_trace_buf/s" and "::fptrace" on
the FCoE initiator host, send me the output together with the
running-config of your Nexus switch. I'll take a look to see what's
going on.
Any
notes available for the SUNWfctl - leadville PLOGI to FCoE target issue
workaround.
You don't need that if you are testing FCoE to FCoE. But if you are
using Leadville FC initiator, you need to apply the package on the
initiator host, otherwise the FC initiator may not log in to FCoE nodes.
Thanks & Regards,
Zhong
Thanks,
Roy
