Not a problem, keep us updated and I can help out where I can to keep you in the right direction (and if you have to engage your vendor I'm very good at poking the right places to make vendors dance for SAN connectivity )
The UCS item may not actually present with noticeable errors in the UCS logs so if all else fails make sure the UCS firmware is on a good code revision and beat up Cisco to make sure you can't be impacted by any of the like 6-7 bugs that can cause that type of issue.
Get MPIO going too as soon as you can, thats where you can really take advantage of the SAN fabric for proper speeds and IO control using block storage
Thinking I should write up a nice long thread for SAN connectivity on FC and iScsi. Maybe even dive into NFS and File based storage
