Hyper-V uses NPIV for virtual Fiber Channel, I have read some article
about KVM NPIV, but how can I config it with libvirt? Any body can
show me some example?
A web search turns up this:

You can use this if the host has a supported Fibre Channel HBA and your
image is on a SAN LUN.
From my limited knowledge about this, NPIV itself won't make
clustering
possible. RAC or Failure Cluster probably still require specific SCSI
commands in order to work (like persistent reservations) and that's what
needs to be investigated in order to figure out a solution.
