FCoE functionality is provided through Ethernet interfaces. Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports are logical entities associated with Ethernet interfaces. Within an Oracle Solaris system, a one-to-one mapping of FCoE ports and Ethernet interfaces exist. You can associate only one FCoE port with a given Ethernet interface. FCoE and IP cannot share the same Ethernet interface. So, before you create an FCoE port on an Ethernet interface, ensure that the interface has been unplumbed.
The FCoE port configuration is persistent across reboots. All configured FCoE ports are created and placed online automatically after the system reboots.
For FCoE target ports, you must enable the following service before creating FCoE target ports to get persistent behavior.
# svcadm enable svc:/system/fcoe_target:default
