Does MSCS support fibre channel disk connections?

Yes. In reality this doesn’t fundamentally change the way MSCS uses disks. Fiber connections are still using SCSI devices, simply hosted on a Fibre Channel bus instead of a SCSI bus. Conceptually, this is encapsulating the SCSI commands within Fibre Channel. Therefore, the SCSI commands upon which MSCS relies (Reserve/Release and Bus Reset) still function as they do over standard (or, non-fiber) SCSI.
