Below configuration is prerequisite for S5000.

• Enable Fibre Channel capability and Full Fabric mode. Switches have SSH connectivity enabled.

  feature fc

• 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

  interface vlan <VLAN ID> [Create VLAN for FCoE]
                                                        exit
                                                     

• Create FCoE Map

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

• Apply FCoE MAP to interface

  interface fibrechannel 0/0
                                                        fabric default_full_fabric
                                                        no shutdown
                                                     

  • NOTE: Below 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
                                                        }"
                                                     

Alias needs to be created having Compellent fault domain WWPN accessible on Brocade switch.
