Can an ESXi server use both FCoE and iSCSI at the same time?

Is it possible for an ESXi server to use FCoE and iSCSI at the same time?

We are using iSCSI connection for a storage.  We are planning to have another storage (VNX) to which we would use FCoE.

I wonder wheter or not the existing ESXi server can connect to both the existing storage (iSCSI) and the new storage (FCoE) at the same time.

Or should we prepare another ESXi server for the FCoE connection?

Plenty of installations use FC and iSCSI, or FC and NFS. I can't see why FCoE and iSCSI would be any different.

Yes, exactly. I guess it is allowed to use FCoE and iSCSI in an ESXi server. However, just in case, if somebody has an experience of the configuration, I really appreciate to know the coexisting of FCoE and iSCSI truly works (or not?).
