you mean ESX Host needs to have 2 FC HBAs connected to FC Switch
in Vmware configuration side , you just create 1 VM kernel and you associate it with both vmnics (which are FC HBAs) ?

Depending on your SAN and HBAs you may not need switches, direct attach is supported on most if you have enough host ports available.

Multipath for Fibre Channel is created in your design an fabric (e.g. your switches), but you still need to have two FC HBAs.
