To start bnx2fc, we need to run fipvlan only and not dcbtool. DCBX is run
automatically in the hardware, but VLAN discovery needs to be started by
fipvlan.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736094
We want all "/var/run" information to live in /dev/.run, until the real
root is mounted.
Therefore we mount a tmpfs on /dev/.run, which can/will be bind/move mounted
on /var/run later on.
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.
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
