You could try adding the drivers you need to the cold clone image  - kb.vmware.com/kb/1012947.

Also, if the storage is the same of vSphere hosts, you can simple convert the local disk, present the FC LUN to the hosts and then add to the VM as a virtual RDM.

We do it last Friday, rebuild the cold colone CD, added the HBA dirver ,but failed to find out the FC dirver, so we just coloned the OS driver, FC driver data is copyed throuth network. we are not sure the reason, the dirver issue?
