With this release, Red Hat Virtualization can consume FCoE block storage. Depending on the FCoE card on the hosts, special configuration may be needed as described in https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/fcoe-config.html. To enable FCoe on a NIC, attach a network to it, and set the "fcoe" network custom property to enable=yes[,dcb=yes][,auto_vlan=yes].

Description Yaniv Lavi 2016-05-10 12:46:45 UTC
Add FCOE support. Ability to handle fcoe enabled interfaces/services without manual intervention.

Comment 1 Yaniv Lavi 2016-05-10 12:48:57 UTC
This RFE is to track hook for 4.0.

Comment 2 Elad 2016-07-10 14:13:38 UTC
Executed storage tier1 automation and manual negative using the hook.
Note that for FCoE, we used servers with Broadcom BCM57800 Ethernet multi function controllers which require DCB to be disabled (BZ #1353659). 

One more issue, fcoe and lldpad services are not enabled by the hook to start on boot (BZ #1353456).

Hardware:
2 hosts connected to a Dell S5000 switch via 2 10G Ethernet ports [1] each (8G configured to be allocated for FC on each switchport)
XtremIO connected to the Dell S5000 switch via 2 8G FC ports.
Dell S5000 switch convert FC communication from XtremIO to FCoE communication to the hosts and vice versa.
6 LUNs exposed to the hosts from the storage server.
