The initial idea was to share FC over IP network. All nodes are ovirt 
nodes (hypervisors).

One node see the FC storage share as a block device. Take this block 
device and share it over iscsi to node[2].
The node[2] will see the block device and create a new FC target to use 
it itself...

I know, its science fiction...

After reading a bit on the subject another solution would be FCoE vn2vn 
but this probably requires hardware.
Specific switches with DCB and FIP snooping which i don't have.

Any idea to extend FC to nodes without FC HBAs is welcome.
