Metadata is the responsibility of the software and database vendors. Fibre Channel is a transport medium that works at layers 1, 2, and 3 of the OSI model. There's no place to "store" metadata on a piece of fiber. Clearly, what is needed to address this a SAN OS, but that'll be awhile. I've heard rumblings but I've never seen a real one yet.

Great information you've pulled together there. Any investor in FC should be thankful for the guys at NAB, because that market is the first one that adopted FC. They're usually about a year ahead of the rest of the world, so NAB is a good place to see what's next.
