The answer is "it depends". If you just load a basic HBA driver, and plug in a single fiber connection, the device will show up just as another SCSI drive "/dev/sdxxx". Won't look any different than any other drive you have. If you're using mutli-pathing, LVM's, Veritas, etc., it'll be different. Best thing to do would be to contact your SAN support folks/SAN or HBA vendor/RedHat support, and ask them. Too many unknowns to answer here.
