Cisco Nexus 5000 Series & Dell PowerConnect S4148U-ON - Fiber Channel Link

Firstly, my knowledge of FC is dangerous, so be gentle if I get some terms wrong - here goes:

We have a scenario where we have two sites that are linked via fiber, 1 site has a Cisco Nexus 5000 series switch and the other has a Dell PowerConnect as stated in the title. There is a need to have hosts at both sites to be able to communicate with SAN's at both sites via FC. My question is: how do I configure the FC ports on both the Nexus and Dell switches to get this connection up and running. I assume it has to be done by using FC over IP, but not at all sure.

Has anyone done this before?
