Which server system do you use for storage? HP, DELL, Supermicro?
Turn off sr-iov thats make many problems and try to turn off auto detection für pci-express speed. And don’t use any PCI-Express slots for graphic cards!

Hmmm. Was hoping for an 8GB variant (I’m on QL2562), might have to go down to this to see how well it works.
 
Thanks,

Of course… 
We use Emulex LPe11002 Dual Port 4Gb PCIe Fibre
With latest firmware. Works great!!!
All VMServer use RoundRoubin as pathselection.
For FC Switch we use 2 x Brocade 5000. 
Low cost, good speed an stable ^^

Hi,
we had very good experience with omnios and fibrechannel. 
We tried it with infiniband and SRP but no look. Because the Mellanox driver were only community based. 
But after we changed all back to FibreChannel ist works great. 
We use only EmulexCards, because there were listed by VMware in the HCL for ESXi 5.5
 
We had 10 VMHosts, 3 Storageserver each witch 1 dual port FC Card.
They host 124 VMs, 10 Terminalserver, 5 SQL-Server, and 8 ExchangeServer. 
No Probs thins were changed back to FC!
 
So i can say, use HCL listed Cards for VMWare!
 
Bye
Thomas

Is it limited to NFS on VSphere, or is there some way I can get this working with Hyper-V (which would be vastly preferable due to licensing advantages for me)?

Hyper-V uses SMB3.0, right?  Like iSCSI, illumos community member (and storage vendor) Nexenta has done nontrivial amounts of work here.  It's "simply" a matter of upstreaming it.
