Description: The FCoE bus. Attributes in this directory are control interfaces.
|

|
|
Attributes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ctlr_create: 'FCoE Controller' instance creation interface. Writing an
|
||
|
|
<ifname> to this file will allocate and populate sysfs with a
|
||
|
|
fcoe_ctlr_device (ctlr_X). The user can then configure any
|
||
|
|
per-port settings and finally write to the fcoe_ctlr_device's
|
||
|
|
'start' attribute to begin the kernel's discovery and login
|
||
|
|
process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ctlr_destroy: 'FCoE Controller' instance removal interface. Writing a
|
||
|
|
fcoe_ctlr_device's sysfs name to this file will log the
|
||
|
|
fcoe_ctlr_device out of the fabric or otherwise connected
|
||
|
|
FCoE devices. It will also free all kernel memory allocated
|
||
|
|
for this fcoe_ctlr_device and any structures associated
|
||
|
|
with it, this includes the scsi_host.

Description: 'FCoE Controller' instances on the fcoe bus.
|
||
|
|
The FCoE Controller now has a three stage creation process.
|
||
|
|
1) Write interface name to ctlr_create 2) Configure the FCoE
|
||
|
|
Controller (ctlr_X) 3) Enable the FCoE Controller to begin
|
||
|
|
discovery and login. The FCoE Controller is destroyed by
|
||
|
|
writing it's name, i.e. ctlr_X to the ctlr_delete file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Attributes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fcf_dev_loss_tmo: Device loss timeout period (see below). Changing
|
||
|
|
this value will change the dev_loss_tmo for all
|
||
|
|
FCFs discovered by this controller.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mode: Display or change the FCoE Controller's mode. Possible
|
||
|
|
modes are 'Fabric' and 'VN2VN'. If a FCoE Controller
|
||
|
|
is started in 'Fabric' mode then FIP FCF discovery is
|
||
|
|
initiated and ultimately a fabric login is attempted.
|
||
|
|
If a FCoE Controller is started in 'VN2VN' mode then
|
||
|
|
FIP VN2VN discovery and login is performed. A FCoE
|
||
|
|
Controller only supports one mode at a time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
enabled: Whether an FCoE controller is enabled or disabled.
|
||
|
|
0 if disabled, 1 if enabled. Writing either 0 or 1
|
||
|
|
to this file will enable or disable the FCoE controller.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lesb/link_fail: Link Error Status Block (LESB) link failure count.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lesb/vlink_fail: Link Error Status Block (LESB) virtual link
|
||
|
|
failure count.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lesb/miss_fka: Link Error Status Block (LESB) missed FCoE
|
||
|
|
Initialization Protocol (FIP) Keep-Alives (FKA).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lesb/symb_err: Link Error Status Block (LESB) symbolic error count.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lesb/err_block: Link Error Status Block (LESB) block error count.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lesb/fcs_error: Link Error Status Block (LESB) Fibre Channel
|
||
|
|
Services error count.
|

|
|
|
||

Notes: ctlr_X (global increment starting at 0)

Description: 'FCoE FCF' instances on the fcoe bus. A FCF is a Fibre Channel
|
||
|
|
Forwarder, which is a FCoE switch that can accept FCoE
|
||
|
|
(Ethernet) packets, unpack them, and forward the embedded
|
||
|
|
Fibre Channel frames into a FC fabric. It can also take
|
||
|
|
outbound FC frames and pack them in Ethernet packets to
|
||
|
|
be sent to their destination on the Ethernet segment.
|
||
|
|
Attributes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fabric_name: Identifies the fabric that the FCF services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
switch_name: Identifies the FCF.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
priority: The switch's priority amongst other FCFs on the same
|
||
|
|
fabric.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
selected: 1 indicates that the switch has been selected for use;
|
||
|
|
0 indicates that the switch will not be used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fc_map: The Fibre Channel MAP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vfid: The Virtual Fabric ID
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mac: The FCF's MAC address
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fka_period: The FIP Keep-Alive period
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fabric_state: The internal kernel state
|
||
|
|
"Unknown" - Initialization value
|
||
|
|
"Disconnected" - No link to the FCF/fabric
|
||
|
|
"Connected" - Host is connected to the FCF
|
||
|
|
"Deleted" - FCF is being removed from the system
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dev_loss_tmo: The device loss timeout period for this FCF.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes: A device loss infrastructure similar to the FC Transport's
|
||
|
|
is present in fcoe_sysfs. It is nice to have so that a
|
||
|
|
link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count
|
||
|
|
used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a
|
||
|
|
"Disconnected" state until either the timer expires and the
|
||
|
|
FCF becomes "Deleted" or the FCF is rediscovered and becomes
|
||
|
|
"Connected."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Users: The first user of this interface will be the fcoeadm application,
|
||
|
|
which is commonly packaged in the fcoe-utils package.
