Fibre Channel and FCoE configuration

- In the previous lectures we covered the theory of fibre channel and fibre channel over ethernet. In this lecture, we'll get into the practical side and I'll show you how to configure it with a lab demo. (techno music) So, I'm here on my NetApp storage system. Again, if you're using a storage system from another vendor, its going to be a very similar configuration. And, I'll click on the SVM page and there you can see the storage virtual machines from the previous labs for SNB and for NFS. So, I'm going to create a storage virtual machine for fibre channel there. So, I'll click on create. And, the previous ones were New York storage and New York NFS, so I'll call this one ny-fc for fibre channel. And you see here under data protocols it gives me option there for FC-FCoE. They're not configured separately. FCoE is fibre channel, just encapsulated in an ethernet header, it works the same way, it's configured exactly the same way. So that's why they're both shown as the same option…
