NPIV error

[tpahuja]

Folks,

           I receive the following error when performing npiv on a MDS  9214 running  5.0(4d).

2013 Feb 14 15:18:53 switch %FLOGI-1-MSG_NPIV_NOT_SUPPORTED_WITH_TRUNKING: %$VSAN

100%$ [VSAN 100, Interface port-channel 2: mode[TF]] NPIV not supported - on this

platform, NPIV is not supported on trunking interfaces

2013 Feb 14 15:18:53 switch %FLOGI-1-MSG_NPIV_NOT_SUPPORTED_WITH_TRUNKING: %$VSAN

100%$ [VSAN 100, Interface port-channel 2: mode[TF]] NPIV not supported - on this
platform, NPIV is not supported on trunking interfaces

Is this a hardware limitation or code limitation or not supported. Help would be highly appreciated.

It is a hardware limitation.

If  a Cisco MDS 9124 or 9134 switch is used as a core switch, only a  nontrunking F PortChannel is supported. Trunking is not supported on  this platform when NPIV enabled.

Thank You,
