Note:
* The virtual Fibre Channel feature in Hyper-V requires the following:
One or more installations of Windows Server 2012 with the Hyper-V role installed. Hyper-V requires a computer with processor support for hardware virtualization.
* A computer with one or more Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) that have an updated HBA driver that supports virtual Fibre Channel. Updated HBA drivers are included with the in-box HBA drivers for some models. The HBA ports to be used with virtual Fibre Channel should be set up in a Fibre Channel topology that supports NPIV. To determine whether your hardware supports virtual Fibre Channel, contact your hardware vendor or OEM.
* An NPIV-enabled SAN.
* Virtual machines configured to use a virtual Fibre Channel adapter, which must use Windows Server
2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012 as the guest operating system.
* Storage accessed through a virtual Fibre Channel supports devices that present logical units. Virtual Fibre Channel logical units cannot be used as boot media.
