SPAN Cisco Fabric Interconnects

Does anyone here SPAN traffic out of their Cisco Fabric Interconnects for the Cisco UCS blade chassis' out to any monitoring tools? Our server guys want to basically SPAN all the 10Gb twinax cables going from the Cisco UCS blade chassis' up to the Cisco Fabric Interconnects and then send this to like a cPacket packet broker. I am curious how this is accomplished or if there is a better way. Obviously the best way would be to change over the Cisco UCS blade chassis' to SR optics up to the Cisco Fabric Interconnects and TAP all of those. I am not sure that is feasible from a cost perspective and outage time required to change all of this.
