FCoE provisioning

The Management application supports FCoE provisioning only on Fabric OS version 6.3.1_dcb.

The command line interface (CLI) supports FCoE provisioning for the following versions of Fabric OS:

•Fabric OS 6.3.1_cee

•Fabric OS 6.3.1_del

•Fabric OS 6.4.1_fcoe

•Fabric OS 7.0.x

Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference for CLI procedures.

FCoE provisioning simplifies the number of steps required to configure a DCB port to carry the FCoE traffic. The FCoE map contains the default DCB map and the VLAN ID. You can change the default VLAN ID using the FCoE tab of the Edit Switch dialog box, shown in Figure 185.

NOTE

For FOS DCB switches, the default DCB map associated with the default FCoE map can be edited on the switch from the Edit Switch dialog box - QoS tab.

Changing the VLAN ID on the default FCoE map

You can change the VLAN ID on the default FCoE map only when no ports or LAGs are participating as members of the switch. You must first manually remove the FCoE map option for each of the port members before you change the VLAN ID on the switch.

NOTE

You can complete this procedure using the Management application on embedded platforms such as the Fabric OS converged 10 GbE switch module for the IBM BladeCenter or the Dell M8428-k switch. You cannot perform this task on the Fabric OS Fabric OS switch or the FCOE10-24 port blade.
