You cannot use Fibre Channel SCSI as a cluster interconnect.

You can use FDDI as a cluster interconnect.

You can directly cross-connect FDDI adapters in two different servers.

FDDI data rate is only 100Mbit/s.  If you have a lot of SCS traffic then you're better server by using Gigabit Ethernet with large frames.
