[ANNOUNCE] TCM based Open-FCOE.org target fabric module

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings all,

It is my great pleasure to announce that the Open-FCoE.org based TCM fabric
module (tcm_fc) has been merged into lio-core-2.6.git/master.

As of LIO v3.4.0-rc1, 100% of logic for v3.x TCM Persistent Reservations and ALUA is
running across iSCSI, FCoE and Virtual SAS based LUNs.

This would not have been possible without the tremendous contributions by Joe Eykholt
with his work to tcm_fc and libfc.  Thank you Joe!

The initial wiki entry has been added with details and a simple howto.

http://www.linux-iscsi.org/index.php/Openfcoe

Alow included below is the entry including sg_inq -i, sg_persist -c and
sg_rtpg output from a TCM based FCoE Target LUN.

Any constructive comments or questions are welcome!

[edit] Description 
The tcm_fc fabric module is based on the open-fcoe.org target code and
has been modified to run using a modified upstream Linux libfc module.

This includes a patch series to reenable Point to Point module for libfc
(which have been merged upstream), and a set of hooks into libfc to be
able to hand off incoming FLOGI requests to FC based target modules.


[edit] Control interface 
The tcm_fc fabric module is using the configfs interface
in /sys/kernel/config/target/fc. Note that there is NO strict open-fcoe
userspace code requirement in order to get up and running.

[edit] What does a running example look like..? 

 *) Configure using configfs
# Create the '20:00:' prefixed FCoE Lport from network inteface eth0
 mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/fc/20:00:00:e0:81:c0:90:b3/tpgt_1/lun/lun_0
 # Chdir and create tcm_fc_port from TCM FILEIO object
 cd /sys/kernel/config/target/fc/20\:00\:00\:e0\:81\:c0\:90\:b3/tpgt_1/lun/lun_0/
 ln -s /sys/kernel/config/target/core/fileio_0/myfile/ tcm_fc_port
 # Chdir and created '20:00' prefixed Initiator WWPN from it's own network interface
 cd ../../ ; mkdir -p acl/20:00:00:e0:81:c0:90:b2/lun_0 ; cd acl/20\:00\:00\:e0\:81\:c0\:90\:b2/lun_0
 # Create explict MappedLUN=0 for NodeACl to TPG LUN 0
 ln -s /sys/kernel/config/target/fc/20\:00\:00\:e0\:81\:c0\:90\:b3/tpgt_1/lun/lun_0/ lun_0

*) Next, load the fcoe module and create an association to the matching
LPORT interface configured with tcm_fc:

modprobe fcoe ; echo eth0 > /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/create

you should see something like the following in the target side kernel
ring buffer:

 [  469.432122] device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
 [  469.433179] scsi0 : FCoE Driver
 [  469.435336] host0: libfc: Link up on port (     0)

and the target will be configured!


[edit] Open-FCoE Initiator 
Now we are ready to connect from an Open-FCOE Initiator. Remember that
in order to run the Initiator in Point to Point mode, the necessary
patches to libfc are also required. Just as on the target side, load the
fcoe module and create the association to the network interface on the
initiator capable of communication with the LPORT network interface
configured above:

modprobe fcoe ; echo eth0 > /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/create

After a few seconds, the FCoE LUNs will be detected and registered with
Linux/SCSI.. Here is what that output looks like on the Open-FCOE
initiator side:
