When using Fibre Channel (FC) as the principal storage type for a workload domain in VMware Cloud Foundation, storage must already be provisioned and visible to all participating ESXi hosts.
The VCF documentation specifies that for VMFS on FC deployments:
Storage LUNs must be created on the SAN.
The LUNs must be zoned and presented to all ESXi hosts.
Hosts must be able to detect the presented LUNs before domain creation.
Incorrect options:
SSD disks (A) are required for vSAN, not Fibre Channel.
Port binding (B) is required for iSCSI, not FC.
A VMkernel interface for storage (D) is required for IP-based storage (NFS/iSCSI), not Fibre Channel.
Therefore, the key prerequisite is ensuring LUNs are presented to all ESXi hosts.
