FCE support enables the firmware to record FC extended link
services and basic link services frames which have been
transmitted and received by the ISP. This allows for a limited
view of the FC traffic through the ISP without using a FC
analyzer. This can be useful in situations where a physical
connection to the FC bus is not possible.
The driver exports this information in two ways -- first, via a
debugfs node exported for all supported ISPs under:
<debugfs_mount_point>/qla2xxx/qla2xxx_<host_no>/fce
where a read of the 'fce' file will provide a snapshot of the
firmware's FCE buffer; and finally, the FCE buffer will be
extracted during a firmware-dump scenario.
