An architect has selected the FlexibleLOM option fur HPE XL230a compute trays, which will host an HPC application.
When should the architect select a FlexibleLOM adapter that supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)?

When should the architect select a FlexibleLOM adapter that supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)?
An architect should select a FlexibleLOM adapter that supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) when the application uses a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN) for its shared storage solution. FCoE allows the network infrastructure to carry both Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic, enabling the integration of Fibre Channel SANs with Ethernet networks, thus providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for applications that rely on shared storage in a SAN environment.
C = Correct, “Compute Nodes traditionally required FC HBA’s to reach an FC SAN. However, they can now use CAN’s which carry both Ethernet and FC over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic, allowing infrastructure to use the same links for interconnect and for storage” P80 of HPE Master ASE v4
