I am not sure if the multipathd can recognize the FC path to the storage 
when the second server is available and regards it as the same as the 
iSCSI path used before. If it is not, I think the device under 
/dev/mapper may change when you cut the iSCSI path off and then enable 
FC path. That will definitely corrupt the meta data of the volume group 
which the storage domain is sitting on and the storage domain will be 
corrupted finally.
