EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment

Introduction

Purpose of this document

This document is meant to assist in the installation and setup of

Emulex Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and Fibre Channel

Over Ethernet (FCoE) Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) and

with the v7.x-series driver on the Linux v2.4.x hosts and the

v8.x-series driver on Linux v2.6.x hosts. The focus of this document is

to:

◆ Enable the integrated Emulex drivers in the Linux distributions

◆ Set up Linux hosts using the Emulex v7.x-series driver, which can

be downloaded from the EMC

-approved section of the Emulex

website

◆ Configure Linux hosts using the Emulex v8.x-series driver,

downloadable from the EMC-approved section of the Emulex

website at http://www.emulex.com.

Host connectivity

Review the EMC Support Matrix or contact your EMC representative

for the latest information on qualified adapters, drivers, and Linux

distributions.

Note: EMC does not support mixing different types of Fibre Channel adapter

(including different types from the same vendor) in a server.

Fibre Channel

The Fibre Channel adapter driver functions as a device driver layer

below the standard Linux SCSI adapter driver. The Fibre Channel

interface therefore is transparent to the Linux disk administration

system.

Fibre Channel over Ethernet

EMC supports the Emulex Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

Converged Network Adapter (CNA). FCoE adapters provide a

method to converge both Fibre Channel and Ethernet traffic over a

single physical link to a switch infrastructure which manages both

storage (SAN) and network (IP) connectivity within a single unit.
