1. Ethernet mini Jumbo Frames (2240 bytes) are used for FCoE encapsulation.
2. Both initiators and targets (native FCoE targets) must be on the same network.
配置FCoE交换机端口：
• Spanning Tree Protocol(STP): Disabled
• LLDP: Enabled.
• PFC: AUTO.
• VLAN ID: Specify a VLAN dedicated to FCoE traffic. Do not mix FCoE traffic with other storage or data traffic because you need to take advantage of PFC.
For Software FCoE Adapter:
1. Create a vmkernel port group on new vSwitch
2. Create a separate vSwitch for each SW FCoE Adapter.
Note You can configure up to four SW FCoE adapters on a single vSphere 5 host.
Don’t get overzealous and attempt to guarantee FCoE bandwidth using Network I/O Control because it is already assigned the appropriate priority via the FCoE protocol. Doing so results in a negative effect and the FCoE traffic is stopped instead.
