For RHEL 6.4 and SLES11 SP2 and legacy versions, the version of
fcoe-utils/open-fcoe included in your distribution is sufficient and no out of
box upgrades are provided.
Where available, installation with yum will automatically resolve
dependencies. Otherwise, required dependencies can be located on your
O/S installation media.
5.
For SLES, turn on the fcoe and lldpad services for FCoE offload, and just
lldpad for iSCSI-offload-TLV.
For SLES11 SP1:
chkconfig lldpad on
chkconfig fcoe on
For SLES11 SP2:
chkconfig boot.lldpad on
chkconfig boot.fcoe on
6.
Inbox drivers are included with all of the supported operating systems. The
simplest means to ensure the newly installed drivers are loaded is to reboot.
7.
For FCoE offload, after rebooting, create configuration files for all FCoE ethX
interfaces:
cd /etc/fcoe
cp cfg-ethx cfg-
<ethX FCoE interface name>
8.
For FCoE offload or iSCSI-offload-TLV, modify /etc/fcoe/cfg-<interface> by
setting DCB_REQUIRED=yes to DCB_REQUIRED=no.
9.
Turn on all ethX interfaces.
ifconfig
<ethX>
up
10.
For SLES, use YaST to configure your Ethernet interfaces to automatically
start at boot by setting a static IP address or enabling DHCP on the
interface.
NOTE
Note that your distribution might have a different naming scheme for
Ethernet devices (pXpX or emX instead of ethX).
