5–Validation Methods for DCB and FCoE
Validation Step 3—FCoE Function and I/O Tests
51031-00 A 5-13
3. Configure the test as follows:
 MLTT test pattern: mixed read/write operations, 100 percent read and
write traffic
 Data size: 512K
 Queue depth: eight
4. Use MLTT to calculate IOPS and latency for the three test configurations,
and verify data integrity.
5. Set up the Analyzer’s TraceControl to capture FCoE frames over the
Ethernet VLAN by setting these frame types as trigger conditions. The FCoE
EtherType is 0x8906.
6. Use Expert to analyze the trace. Compare the details of the I/O performance
for the three test configurations, and identify any errors in the FCoE traffic.
