Validation Step 3—FCoE Function and I/O Tests
Figure 5-12 shows the three test configurations that validate FCoE function and
I/O in the FCoE fabric:
 Converged Network Adapter host > FCoE switch > FCoE storage
 Converged Network Adapter host > FCoE switch > direct-attached Fibre
Channel storage
 Converged Network Adapter host > FCoE switch > Fibre Channel switch >
Fibre Channel storage

Validation Process
The following validation steps are used for all three test configurations:
1. Install the Medusa test tools (MLTT) on the Converged Network Adapter
host.
2. Map the target device from the MLTT client interface.
