According to the link below the MSL2024 has 1 fibre channel interface

If you don't have a SAN switch you may need the HP StorageWorks SAN router :

Under all circumstance I think you will need a SAN hba on the media server as well. SCSI cables don't work very well becuase of the limited lenth. LVD SCSI is only 6 meters where as FC go 500M.
