Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a new technology that allows FC storage
traffic to travel over an Ethernet fabric. This promotes I/O consolidation, whereby
data (TCP/IP) and storage (FCoE) traffic can travel over the same shared
Ethernet medium. Each traffic type is tagged with a different VLAN ID, resulting in
reduced adapter, cabling, switch, power, and cooling costs. By design, FCoE
preserves existing FC storage and management tool investment by retaining the
FC protocol and familiar FC services, such as WWNs, zoning, and LUN masking.
The FCoE menu is available only for the QLE80xx, QLE81xx, and QMI81xx
adapters. When you select FCoE from the main menu, SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA
CLI displays a submenu that varies depending on whether the installed adapter is
a QLE80xx (FCoE adapter) or a QLx81xx (converged network adapter). Refer to
the appropriate section for your adapter type:
"FCoE Utilities Menu for QLE80xx Adapters" on page 3-108
"FCoE Utilities Menu for QLx81xx Adapters (Command Line Option -cna)"
on page 3-111
