Hi Tej-san Mark-san and all,
Unfortunately, the pvSCSI driver for Xen 3.3 does not support FC
transport layer functionality. I consider that at least new export
mode, which exports whole physical SCSI tree under a HBA to guest
domain, is needed. (FC transport functionality assumes physical
topology, I think.)
Best regards,
