Note that there are still some patches queued upstream for fcoe-utils to
enable it to work with the new lldpad and to add support to fipvlan to
bring up FCoE connections without requiring fcoemon to run.
The invocations of the various tools as in this patch should be final though,
see the discussion in:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=563794
This is the second revision of this patch, which no longer adds /etc/fcoe
to the initrd as that is not needed.
ifname=<interface>:<MAC>
Assign network device name <interface> (ie eth0) to the NIC with MAC <MAC>.
Note that if you use this option you *must* specify an ifname= argument
for all interfaces used in ip= or fcoe= arguments
Having it unconditionally pass pulls in all the networking cruft even
for systems that do not need it, and that sorta defeats the purpose of
hostonly mode.
Supported cmdline formats:
fcoe=<networkdevice>:<dcb|nodcb>
fcoe=<macaddress>:<dcb|nodcb>
Note currently only nodcb is supported, the dcb option is reserved for
future use.
Note letters in the macaddress must be lowercase!
Examples:
fcoe=eth0:nodcb
fcoe=4A:3F:4C:04:F8:D7:nodcb
