Hi,
your easiest way here if you want to use your FC hardware is to do IP over FC
so that you can leverage the existing FC HBA in your servers but stick to IP as
a communication layer. FC here would just be a low latency
transport/encapsulation layer.
I’ve played with this gazillion years ago

So it looks like because of reply to going to the user instead of the

the thread got kinda messed up, so I apologize if you're using a

from the responses I've gotten, it looks like there's
My primary motivations are:
Most of my systems that I want to use with ceph already have fibre
Chantel cards and infrastructure, and more infrastructure is
incredibly cheap compared to infiniband or {1,4}0gbe cards and
infrastructure
Most of my systems are expansion slot constrained, and I'd be for
I could only see it being done using FCIP as the OSD processes use IP to
communicate.
I guess it would depend on why you are looking to use something like FC instead
of Ethernet or IB.
