Hi everybody,
I've been reading 10Gbit HBA ethernet cards is the way to go in
COMSTAR with OpenSolaris FCoE stack, but is it possible to use
COMSTAR FC target mode with 10Gbit CNA ?
Yes. AFAIK, Emulex LP21000 CNA works with COMSTAR FC target by setting
target-mode=0 in emlxs.conf.
Oops, "target-mode=0" should be "target-mode=1", sorry.
The CNA is hardware offloading FCoE, so it would appear to OS as
normal FC adapter together with ethernet card, right ?
Correct.
Emulex mentions that way of operation in their LP21000 series
description, but I couldn't find that on Qlogic QLE8142 pages.
I don't have any information about QLE8142, either.
And for drivers, would the usual FC/ethernet OpenSolaris drivers
work, including FC target mode ?
emlxs is the OpenSolaris driver for all Emulex FC HBAs, including CNA.
It works in either FC initiator mode or target mode, decided by the
target-mode setting in emlxs.conf. Solaris ixgbe driver works with the
Ethernet interface of LP21000 CNA very well.

Zhong
