Lachlan mentioned that he has "M Series" hardware, which, to the best of my
knowledge, does not officially support usNIC. It may not be possible to even
configure the relevant usNIC adapter policy in UCSM for M Series
modules/chassis.
Using the TCP BTL may be the only realistic option here.

Greetings Lachlan.
Yes, Gilles and John are correct: on Cisco hardware, our usNIC transport is the
lowest latency / best HPC-performance transport. I'm not aware of any MPI
implementation (including Open MPI) that has support for FC types of transports
(including FCoE).
I'll ping you off-list
Hello Lachlan. I think Jeff Squyres will be along in a short while! HE is
of course the expert on Cisco.
In the meantime a quick Google turns up:

Hi,
FCoE is for storage, Ethernet is for the network.
I assume you can ssh into your nodes, which means you have a TCP/IP, and
it is up and running.
i do not know the details of Cisco hardware, but you might be able to
use usnic (native btl or via libfabric) instead of the plain TCP/IP netw
