If you’re using a 2.6 based distribution, the FC HBA (or more correctly the corresponding driver) should create entries in /sys/class/scsi_host. Now you only need to get the host-number (basically the # of the host bus adapter) and you can get started ..
Simply doing this, is going to tell the FC HBA “rescan” and discover new devices ..

echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host/issue_lip |
That should do the trick, and you should be able to get udev to recognize the new devices attached via FibreChannel without the need to reboot the whole box (which might be a bit tricky).
