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.
