Explanation

FC SAN (Fibre Channel SAN) does not require adding storage interfaces for hosts in FusionCompute because FC connectivity is established at the hardware level through HBA (Host Bus Adapter) cards and the Fibre Channel fabric - FusionCompute can discover and use existing FC paths without needing explicit per-host interface configuration in the management layer. In contrast, FusionStorage (A) requires configuring storage network interfaces on each host so they can participate in the distributed storage cluster's data plane. NAS (C) requires specifying a network interface on each host for mounting NFS/CIFS file shares over the IP network. IP SAN (D) requires configuring iSCSI initiator interfaces on each host because it runs SCSI commands over TCP/IP, which must be explicitly bound to a host network port.

Memory tip: Think "FC = Fabric Connects itself" - the dedicated Fibre Channel fabric and HBA hardware handle host connectivity transparently, so FusionCompute has no storage interface to configure. Every other option (Fusion Storage, NAS, IP SAN) rides on a software-configurable IP or storage network that needs explicit host-level interface assignment.
