Hi all, I found a article about Hyper-V virtual Fiber Channel, I think this will make Failover Cluster work if KVM has the same feature. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831413.aspx Hyper-V uses NPIV for virtual Fiber Channel, I have read some article about KVM NPIV, but how can I config it with libvirt? Any body can show me some example?
