i'm planing to purchase Dell m1000e blade server, if i want to connect the server to a SAN server via Fibre Channel Blade Switch Modules should i install fiber channel host bus adapter (mezzanine card) to each server?

Yes, of course - for each server that you plan on hooking up to the SAN. And you'll also need some form of SAN connectivity in the blade chassis. There's passthru options and built-in FC switches.

  • Post that as a new question. Although you may want to simply try reading the product documentation. – mfinni Dec 02 '14 at 13:01
