FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) installation

I’m new to this environment.

I’m currently using OpenSuse 11.2 freshly installed. I’m attempting to install FCoE as a target on one box and an initiator on another. I’ve gone to the Open-FCoE.org site and gotten the tar file open-fcoe-2.6.34.tar.gz and attempted to install it, but there appear to be missing dependencies, such as libhbalinux. However, the more I seem to install, the more there are unresolved dependancies. I’ve followed the Open_FCoE Target and Iniator Quick Starts, but I’m running into many missing souce dependencies.

Can someone tell me what exactly I need in the way of packages, files, etc and how to install them? Is there any documentation of how to install FCoE from scratch?

For a fresh installation, 11.3 would probably have been better, but it’s
immaterial.

Which appears to supplied by the same site/project.

2.6.34 is probably a little too new for 11.2 (I can’t remember which
kernel it has, but 11.3 has 2.6.34).

open-fcoe.org sounds like the place to go :slight_smile:
