Hi, I don't know which target you are using.
But likewise you need to instantiate a VN2VN session on target side also. e.g. do following on target side echo <ethX> > /sys/module/libfcoe/parameters/create_vn2vn If you are using Linux in-kernel TCM target and setup target. 1. Basically ACLs setup for that initiator and LUN masking. If you are using RHEL6.4 or so, you can use user mode app ' targetcli' to configure target. If target is configured correctly for that initiators, VN2VN state machine should complete and you should see FLOGI, PLOGI, PRLI on wire. When PRLI request is sent form initiator to target, target will enforce ACL checks (checks WWPN of initiator and target) Thanks, -- Kiran P. -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Stanje [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 1, 2013 4:52 PM To: Patil, Kiran; Love, Robert W; [email protected] Subject: RE: example Hello, Ok got it working using: echo eth0 > /sys/module/libfcoe/parameters/create_vn2vn ...don't you need to enter the mac address of the target to connect? I got this trace using whireshark: Probe Request Probe Request Claim Notification Beacon Beacon Beacon Beacon Beacon .... The Beacon request is every 8 seconds... These packets are all as expected right?

Please also make sure that, eth0 has link (means at least connected to some 10GbE switch) Thanks, -- Kiran P. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerald Stanje Sent: Thursday, August 1, 2013 4:06 PM To: Love, Robert W; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Open-FCoE] example Hello Robert, When I do a: echo eth0 /sys/module/libfcoe/parameters/create_vn2vn Shouldn't I see some fip frames trying to look for a target...using wireshark?

It has been available in the kernel for a while. You need to connect two systems to each other, typically with 10Gbps Ethernet. For example, two Fedora systems with their latest release would support everything you need. You would need to ensure that fcoe.ko, libfcoe.ko, libfc.ko and scsi_transport_fc.ko were installed- 'modprobe fcoe'. Alternatively, if you run the fcoe service it should also install the above modules for you. Then you can: # echo <ifname> > /sys/module/libfcoe/parameters/create_vn2vn This is the simplest and most generic help I can give. Newer kernels also have a different sysfs interface, but the one above should still work. Newer versions of fcoeadm also support starting an interface in VN2VN mode, but until you pick a distro/kernel I don't want to assume it's available for you. Hope this helps, //Rob _______________________________________________ fcoe-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-fcoe.org/mailman/listinfo/fcoe-devel _______________________________________________ fcoe-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-fcoe.org/mailman/listinfo/fcoe-devel
