In FC you go inte the bios and check the presence of storage devices, I don't think you got that possibility in FCoE adaptors, do you? But can you perhaps bypass the switch, and see if you can pick up any device directly?
Hmm, no… I want to use OmniOS as a FCoE target, actually, not an 
initiator. I got my FCoE initiator on RHEL already set up and logged in 
to the fabric. I am wondering a bit about the DCB client though - I am 
still not sure, if the X520-T2 has one built it or not. On RHEL I 
configred the DCB_REQUIRED to no and it obviously works, which led me to 
believe that these Intel CNAs actually do have a DCB client built in.

I am using a Nexus 5596, with some fabric extenders and although I am 
pretty sure, that I configured the ports correctly I will check that one 
again and see, if I made some mistake.
