You need a NIC that supports it. We are currently using the Broadcom Corporation BCM57840 NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter. However, multiple vendors sell a converged network adapter that should work.

<div class="">You�ll also need to verify that your switch supports FCoE. This is where you�ll connect up to your SAN fabric. </div>

<div class="">If you�re in the market for new compute blades as well, you can go the route we did. The Dell FX2 platform has a couple of 4 port FCoE and Network switch in the back of each chassis so you can cable up directly to the fabric without changing your
top of rack switches to FCoE. Here�s some more information:</div>

We use FCoE in our setup. All the configs are in /etc/fcoe/ and fcoeadm is part of the ovirt-node iso. So this should work the same as setting up FCoE on CentOS or RHEL.

Do you use special hardware (switch or nics) for FCoE?<br class="">
