These operating systems and procedures list the requirements
to configure for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) host attachment.
A converged network adapter (CNA) must be installed on a host.
A host requires a specific CNA driver to be installed on the operating
system of the host.
Linux operating system
The following Linux
distributions are supported for the FCoE attachment:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- SuSe Linux Enterprise Server
For current interoperability information about supported
software levels, see the following websites:
CNAs for hosts that are running the Linux operating
system
Ensure that all hosts that are running the Linux
operating system use the correct host bus adapters (HBAs) and host
software.
For current interoperability information about HBAs
and platform levels, see this websites:
Drivers and firmware for hosts that are running the
Linux operating system
Ensure that all hosts have the correct
HBA device drivers and firmware levels.
