Figure 11-8 FCoE protocol mapping
Figure 11-9 on page 444 shows another perspective on FCoE layering compared to other
storage networking technologies. The FC and FCoE layers are shown with the other storage
networking protocols along with iSCSI.
storage networking technologies. The FC and FCoE layers are shown with the other storage
networking protocols along with iSCSI.
In general, an FCoE network contains servers, lossless Ethernet (DCB-capable) switches,
Fibre Channel Forwarders (FCFs) that provide FC fabric services, and storage devices. An
existing FC SAN may or may not be present. With compute node connectivity to IBM Flex
System V7000 Storage Node, the connection link is via I/O module lossless Ethernet FCF
switches, a connected FC SAN does not have to be present.
