When you boot your system from a software FCoE LUN, specific guidelines apply.
- Make sure that the host has access to the entire boot LUN. The boot LUN cannot be shared with other hosts even on shared storage.
- If you use Intel 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller with a Cisco switch, configure the switch port in the following way:
- Enable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
- Turn off switchport trunk native vlan for the VLAN used for FCoE.
