Hi,
I would like to know if the StarWind storage can be handles via Fiber Channel protocol. What I am thinking is that in windows I can choose which interface to choose in order to allow the traffic only through that interface. Can thatinterface be a fiber channel interface or StarWind cannot understand that protocol?
Thank you.
Best regards Alex.

We don't do FC target so far. There're no performance benefits compared to 10 GbE and implementation cost for FC is much higher. Stick with iSCSI in production.
