This below statement needs to be verified for current release
Fibre Channel supported only the KVM hypervisor.
Compute and Block Storage support Fibre Channel automatic zoning on Brocade and Cisco switches. On other hardware Fibre Channel arrays must be pre-zoned or directly attached to the KVM hosts.
KVM host requirements¶
You must install these packages on the KVM host:
sysfsutils- Nova uses the
systoolapplication in this package. sg3-utilsorsg3_utils- Nova uses the
sg_scanandsginfoapplications.
Installing the multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath package is
optional.
