Additional info:
The HBA is not soft FCoE adapter, therefore it does not show on fcoeadm

# fcoeadm -i
No FCoE interfaces created.

Comment 3 Andy Grover 2016-03-18 14:59:27 UTC
This would need the tcm_lpfc fabric, which is not yet available upstream.

Comment 6 Laurie Barry 2018-07-23 18:43:54 UTC
Emulex has no plans to add this support.  OneConnect adapters (FCoE) are in maintenance mode; bug fixes only.
