Unfortunately they're looking for native FC rather than FCoE and won't

Channel in the OR portfolio that I've not spotted.
Is an FCIP device not an option? Brocade seem to sell these, for one.

It's been a while since I've read anything in depth on FC, but it
appears on first glance to be far more sensible to try and tunnel this
than provide direct, native FC connectivity over long distances.
