I can confirm this bug on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. FCoE is non-functional on ubuntu-server due to a version of fcoe-utils from 2009, and a broken init script. The fcoe service does not autovlan, and when you try to manually create the interface, the following error occurs:
$ sudo fcoeadm -c p3p1 fcoeadm: Failed to open /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/create $ ls /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/ ddp_min debug_logging I can confirm that the above command works on Fedora & OpenSuse, but not Ubuntu because Canonical doesn't update packages unless a bug has been open for 2+ years. For reference, the package provided by Debian 7 (Wheezy) is: $ apt-cache madison fcoe-utils fcoe-utils | 1.0.23-1 | http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages And the version on Ubuntu of course is: $ apt-cache madison fcoe-utils fcoe-utils | 1.0.9-0ubuntu4 | http://linux-ftp.jf.intel.com/pub/mirrors/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages The version included with Fedora 21: ]# yum info fcoe-utils | grep Version Version : 1.0.29 Note: I tried getting fcoe-utils to work in Debian without success either, it's using a strange init script that fails to even start fcoemon. So it looks like neither Debian nor Ubuntu based servers can be used as storage initiators in a datacenter environment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1183596 Title: can't start fcoe w/ Ubuntu 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fcoe-utils/+bug/1183596/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
