Wow - you don't want much, do you - just a complete tutorial on FC SAN storage communications!
lol!
At any rate, in simplest form, it is "follow the wire"
ESX is no different in this regard than any other FC connected host:
The storage array connects to the FC switches, and the hosts also connect to the FC switches. In the FC "fabric" (ie the backplane of the FC switches) the individual ports are ZONED so that the storage array and any connected host that needs to access storage, are allowed to communicate.
When a storage administrator "presents" a LUN to a particular host, that host uses FC protocol to see and then access the LUN.
Simple as that.
In most situations there are 2 separate FC "fabrics" and each storage array and host has (at least) 2 FC HBAs that connect - one to FC Switch "Fabric A", the other to FC Switch "Fabric B" - that way if an HBA or a FC switch port or even an entire FC switch are lost, the end devices (ie storage array and hosts) can still see each other.
