29.2. NVMe over fabrics using FC
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.
- Install the
nvme-clitool:#yum install nvme-cliThis creates thehostnqnfile in the/etc/nvme/directory. Thehostnqnfile identifies the NVMe host. To generate a newhostnqn:#nvme gen-hostnqn - Create a
/etc/modprobe.d/lpfc.conffile with the following content:options lpfc lpfc_enable_fc4_type=3
- Rebuild the
initramfsimage:# dracut --force
- Reboot the host system to reconfigure the
lpfcdriver:# systemctl reboot
- Find the WWNN and WWPN of the local and remote ports and use the output to find the subsystem NQN:

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
