Configuring FCoE for the MZ522 in VMware ESXi
To configure FCoE in VMware ESXi 6.0, perform the following steps:
- If NPAR is enabled, set the working mode of the PFs that need to use the FCoE function to FCoE (NIC+FCoE). For details, see Configuring NPAR. After the configuration, check and record the NIC MAC address of the PF in NIC+FCoE mode.
If NPAR is disabled, skip this step.
- Install Ethernet and FCoE drivers in VMware ESXi 6.0. For details, see Installing and Uninstalling the MZ522 Drivers in VMware ESXi.
- On the VMware ESXi CLI, run the esxcli fcoe nic list command to check for vmnics that support the FCoE function.Figure 4-282 vmnics that support the FCoE function
- Run the esxcli fcoe nic discover-n vmnic<n> command to enable the FCoE function for one of vmnics. If NPAR is enabled, vmnic<n> is the name of the port for the PF in NIC+FCoE mode. You can identify the NIC port name from the NIC MAC address recorded in 1.Figure 4-283 Enabling the FCoE function
- Run the esxcli fcoe adapter list command to view FCoE port information, including FCF MAC, VNPort MAC, Physical NIC, and VLAN id.Figure 4-284 Viewing FCoE port information
- Run the esxcli storage san fcoe list command to view FCoE port details and the connection status, such as Port ID, Node Name, Port Name, Port State, and Vmnic Name.Figure 4-285 Viewing FCoE port details and connection status
