After running in to some issues while trying to pass the HBA through to the VM. We have come up with the solution. I was working on this issue with Cisco TAC and we found that in order to pass that Physical HBA through to the VM we would need to upgrade to the new 2.1 firmware for UCS. This firmware introduces VM-FEX for Hyper-V 2012. Here is a link to the Configuration Guide for VM-FEX. VM-FEX is required to pass the physical HBA through to a VM. This has been around a while now for VMware and is now available for Hyper-V 2012. We are currently working on the upgrade to our UCS environment. I will continue to update on our progress.

Hyper-v 2012 on Cisco UCS
We are working a Windows 2012 Hyper-V cluster. One of the features we are exploring is the ability to use the virtual HBA on the VMs to provide direct access to the SAN and other devices on the fiber channel network. As we continue to work through this I will post our findings.
