EMC Host Connectivity with QLogic FC and iSCSI HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Additional Notes
Ethernet connectivity over the CNA
The QLogic FCoE CNA delivers lossless 10 Gb/s Enhanced Ethernet
support with dynamic allocation of networking and storage
bandwidth that may be used for either system ethernet or iSCSI
traffic, as well as FCoE. The Linux driver that supports the ethernet
and iSCSI traffic for this device is ixgbe. The driver will automatically
be installed and loaded by your supported Linux distribution.
To configure the network capabilities of your QLogic CNA, refer to
your Linux distributor's network administrator's guide for more
details. If you are configuring your CNA for iSCSI traffic, refer to the
EMC Linux iSCSI Attach Release Notes found on
http://powerlink.emc.com for the iSCSI configuration after
configuring the network first.
