Configuring FCoE on Windows
By default, DCB is enabled on Marvell FastLinQ 41xxx FCoE- and
DCB-compatible C-NICs. Marvell 41xxx FCoE requires a DCB-enabled interface.
For Windows operating systems, use QConvergeConsole GUI or a command line
utility to configure the DCB parameters.
FCoE Crash Dump on Windows
Crash dump functionality is currently supported for FCoE boot for the FastLinQ
41xxx Series Adapters.
No additional configuration is required for FCoE crash-dump generation when in
FCoE boot mode.
