HyperV Fibre Channel support
At the moment, the Hyper-V driver supports attaching volumes only via iSCSI or SMB. In many cases, using FC based topologies might be desired.
This blueprint proposes adding Fibre Channel support for the Hyper-V driver, thus attaching volumes exposed via FC to Hyper-V instances.
Two scenarios will be supported:
- passthrough attached disks (similar to what we do for the iSCSI volumes today)
- exposing virtual HBAs to instances (bringing overall performance improvements).
In case of virtual HBAs, the WWNN and WWPN of the virtual HBA will be passed to Cinder when initializing the connection. One limitation is that instances can't boot from volumes accessed through a virtual HBA, in which passthrough disks will be used.
