                                                        exit
                                                        
                                                     

Following is the prerequisite for S5000.

• Enable Fibre Channel capability and Full Fabric mode.

  feature fc 
                                                        fc switch-mode fabric-services
                                                        
                                                     

• Enable FC ports connecting to Compellent storage array and FC ports connecting to other S5000 switch via ISL links.

  interface range fi 0/0 - 7 
                                                        no shut
                                                        
                                                     

• Create DCB Map.

  dcb-map SAN_DCB_MAP
                                                        priority-group 0 bandwidth 60 pfc off 
                                                        priority-group 1 bandwidth 40 pfc on 
                                                        priority-pgid 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 
                                                        exit
                                                        
                                                     

• Create a FCoE VLAN.

  fcoe-map default_full_fabric fabric-id <FCoE VLAN ID> vlan <FCoE VLAN Id> 
                                                        fc-map <FC MAP> 
                                                        exit 
                                                     

  • NOTE: Following is the process of generating the FC MAP.

  For generating the fc-map use below ruby code.

  Here VLAN ID is FCoE VLAN ID.

  fc_map = vlanid.to_i.to_s(16).upcase[0..1]
                                                        fc_map.length == 1 ? fc_map = "0EFC0#{fc_map}" : fc_map = "0EFC#{fc_map}"
                                                        
                                                     

Fault domain need to be created as per Compellent best practices.
