Nexus 5548UP VFC with multiple physical interfaces

I have a physical host that is evenly quad-homed to a pair of 2248PQ Fex's. Each NIC interface is 10Gb.

Each of my fex's is single homed to a 5548UP in a VPC configuration. I am using FCoE and I have CNA's in my host. My design is below.

On the LAN side, I would like to have a full 40Gb LACP / VPC Port channel. On the FC side, I would like to be able to create a VFC on each side, (or multiple VFC's if that is required), and attach it to both interfaces on each side, so that I have two full FC paths from the host to each SAN fabric, also for a total of 40Gb.

I've seen some Cisco diagrams in some much older forum posts that show that this is not possible, but I've seen nothing recent on this. Does anyone know if it's possible?

Hi,

 

If you have two different storage separated, then how this would be possible since in that condition you need to allow both storage on same Port-channels which I think is not valid design.

Have you got any answer or solution for this ?
