7 Working With Linux I-O Storage

Oracle Linux uses the Linux-IO Target (LIO) to provide the block-storage SCSI target for FCoE, iSCSI, and Mellanox InfiniBand (iSER and SRP). You manage LIO by using the targetcli shell provided in the targetcli package. Note that Mellanox InfiniBand is only supported with UEK. You can install the targetcli package by running:

sudo dnf install -y targetcli

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) encapsulates Fibre Channel packets in Ethernet frames, which enables them to be sent over Ethernet networks. To configure FCoE storage, you need to install the fcoe-utils package that includes both the fcoemon service and the fcoeadm command. You can install the fcoe-utils package by running:

sudo dnf install -y fcoe-utils
