Ok, there's plenty of good news on the iSCSI front for WSS but still nothing for FC. I think there are some third party FCOE options to add to Windows Server to run FCOE... however I don't have any 10G switches lying around... what I do have are plenty of Cisco 8B FC switches lying around. So what I would rather do is find a FC Initiator for Windows Server 2012 and setup storage for Hyper-V nodes like it was ISCSI.
where's the FC love Microsoft?
Yes I get it... you might not want to piss off EMC, NetApp, IBM, and HP but really it's time to put the hammer down. We want cheap stoarge nodes running windows that we mannage for storage. (Nodes with as little as 5TB and as much as 60TB of disk, with 2 to 8 Dual ported FC cards connecting to the FC fabric)
I am tired of people saying FC is complicated. I do not agree. It's pretty simple and straightforward. It works and you don't have to argue about your network...
BTW if your doing iSCSI and not using cards with off-loading CPU's your doing it wrong. Those cards are not cheap.. so there's no real cost advantage from FC HBA's and 10-gig or 1-gig offloading adapters.
