29.2. NVMe over fabrics using FC

download PDF
The NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe) is fully supported in initiator mode when used with certain Broadcom Emulex and Marvell Qlogic Fibre Channel adapters. As a system administrator, complete the tasks in the following sections to deploy the FC-NVMe:

29.2.1. Configuring the NVMe initiator for Broadcom adapters

Use this procedure to configure the NVMe initiator for Broadcom adapters client using the NVMe management command line interface (nvme-cli) tool.
  1. Install the nvme-cli tool:
    # yum install nvme-cli
    This creates the hostnqn file in the /etc/nvme/ directory. The hostnqn file identifies the NVMe host. To generate a new hostnqn:
    # nvme gen-hostnqn
  2. Create a /etc/modprobe.d/lpfc.conf file with the following content:
    options lpfc lpfc_enable_fc4_type=3
  3. Rebuild the initramfs image:
    # dracut --force
  4. Reboot the host system to reconfigure the lpfc driver:
    # systemctl reboot
  5. Find the WWNN and WWPN of the local and remote ports and use the output to find the subsystem NQN:
    # cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/nvme_info

29.2.2. Configuring the NVMe initiator for QLogic adapters

Use this procedure to configure NVMe initiator for Qlogic adapters client using the NVMe management command line interface (nvme-cli) tool.
  1. Install the nvme-cli tool:
    # yum install nvme-cli
    This creates the hostnqn file in the /etc/nvme/ directory. The hostnqn file identifies the NVMe host. To generate a new hostnqn:
    # nvme gen-hostnqn
  2. Remove and reload the qla2xxx module:
    # rmmod qla2xxx
    # modprobe qla2xxx
  3. Find the WWNN and WWPN of the local and remote ports:
    # dmesg |grep traddr
        [    6.139862] qla2xxx [0000:04:00.0]-ffff:0: register_localport: host-traddr=nn-0x20000024ff19bb62:pn-0x21000024ff19bb62 on portID:10700
    [    6.241762] qla2xxx [0000:04:00.0]-2102:0: qla_nvme_register_remote: traddr=nn-0x203b00a098cbcac6:pn-0x203d00a098cbcac6 PortID:01050d
    
    Using this host-traddr and traddr, find the subsystem NQN:
    # nvme discover --transport fc --traddr nn-0x203b00a098cbcac6:pn-0x203d00a098cbcac6 --host-traddr nn-0x20000024ff19bb62:pn-0x21000024ff19bb62

    Replace nn-0x203b00a098cbcac6:pn-0x203d00a098cbcac6 with the traddr.
    Replace nn-0x20000024ff19bb62:pn-0x21000024ff19bb62 with the host_traddr.
