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.




What I mean here it to bypass the switch in that way that you eliminate the switch as the problem. Disconnect the switch, and connect the initiator directly to the target, and see if you can pich up a device.
