Equipment Details
Table 1 lists the referenced architecture equipment.
Two Sun servers from Oracle were installed with Oracle Solaris 10 9/10. All servers used Oracle’s Sun Storage
10 GbE FCoE PCIe Converged Network Adapter. One Sun ZFS Storage Appliance from Oracle and one Sun
Storage 6000 Series Storage Array from Oracle provided the FC SAN storage.

Installation
This section describes how to set up an FCoE environment. It assumes a general understanding of SAN
administration concepts. The installation process consists of the following steps:
1. Determine the configuration.
2. Install CNAs.
3. Configure switches and zoning so that CNAs and storage can see each other.
4. Configure storage to assign LUNs to CNAs.
5. Verify equipment connectivity.
