I'm afraid I wasn't fully clear. We just replaced a FAS940c by a 3070c which is attached to the (already existing) FC fabric. The FAS940c wasn't. That's why we used iSCSI for our other customers in the past. But now we would like to get the storage from the FC fabric. The problem, as I see it, is that afaik there is no way to attach the fabric to the guest OS directly, as you'd need a FC HBA inside the VM.
If I am not mistaken, I believe that SnapDrive will allow you to run SD/SME inside a VM and work with an RDM that is mapped against an FC- based LUN. However, I certainly could be wrong.
