Erez, When I teach I use unsolicited data as an example of the differences between iSCSI and FC and why you need a Gateway between the 2 kinds of SAN but now that I think about it - I have never checked the SCSI-FCP standard to verify this :) Regards Ronnie On Fri, 2009-09-11 at 09:11 +0300,

Hi, I am trying get an FCOE target going for testing. I have rebuilt a Ubuntu 2.6.30 i386 kernel to get FCOE initiator and it seems OK but open-fcoe-target does not compile. Google did not help and I am actually more than slightly out of my depth. Any pointers. nudges etc would be appreciated.
