Lets first try to isolate your FC issure. So you are using the latest
ovirt-node? EL6? Keep in mind, the kernel is standard Linux and
therefore should support Qlogic adapters out of the box (IMHO they are
the best supported HBAs in Linux).
Please try a:
# lsmod  | grep qxl
to see whatever the qxl module is loaded. Keep in mind you can run into
problems with other conrollers in your host, though I only had this with
LSI SAS / FC controllers so far.

Further check on the FC switch if the N port is logged in and the zoning
is correct.

Finally, check with
# lsscsi
if you can see the luns.
