To connect Cisco UCS Manager directly to an FC storage port, the fabric interconnect must be configured in FC switch mode, which allows it to manage Fibre Channel traffic and zoning.

References: Detailed steps for these actions can be found in the Cisco documentation, which outlines the process of configuring direct attached storage and FC zoning with Cisco UCS Manager
