Limitations of FCoE

The Solaris FCoE initiator is a pure software implementation that is designed to work with normal Ethernet controllers. However, you must comply with the following limitations of Solaris FCoE implementations:

• FCoE ports cannot be used for booting.

• FCoE ports cannot be configured in xVM or LDom guest operating systems.

• FCoE is supported in fabric and point-to-point topologies.

FCoE is not supported on all hardware. FCoE works with Ethernet controllers that support 802.3x PAUSE and jumbo frames, and have a GLDv3 driver.
