Should I add a new FCoE only network interface and should this have VLAN/IP address in a special range compared to the internal network in the rack?

Hi Gunder,

from my experience (we have several C7000 Chassis with Virtual
Connect), blades sees the FCoE connection as a standard FC connection.
We use 650FLB - HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter, and we add
all the storage using "Fibre Channel" storage type.
