FCoE issue

Post by alex1010 » 2018/02/14 21:10:55

Hi,

I have asked already in Networking forum but seems nobody knows

I am trying to make work hp blade with netapp storage via FCoE gateway

FCoE subinterface is created and Fabric params are there but it stays Offline

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep fcoe
fcoe-utils-1.0.32-1.el7.x86_64

[root@localhost ~]# fcoeadm -i
Description: OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3)

or


[root@localhost ~]# fcoeadm -i

in debug log I see
[ 6835.736983] libfcoe: host8: FIP selected Fibre-Channel Forwarder MAC 5c:45:27:c4:f0:20

in packet capture on FCoE gateway don't see PLOGI
I suspect some issue with a driver on the server side

on each fcoe service restart bnx2fc loads
[ 394.563491] bnx2fc: QLogic FCoE Driver bnx2fc v2.10.3 (October 15, 2015)

maybe it interferes here?


Actually this is my first experience with FCoE , so need your help
