You must globally enable NPIV for all VSANs on the MDS switch to allow the NPIV-enabled applications to use multiple N port identifiers.

Note All of the N port identifiers are allocated in the same VSAN

Enable NPIV mode on the NPV core switch:

switch(config)# npiv enable

switch (config)#

enabling NPIV on the core switch is non-disruptive. DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH ENABLING NPV MODE on a switch.

We have done:switch1#config t switch1(config)#enable npiv

We have done but the switch ports show only the wwpn of the HBA

of host connected and not virtual ports fffffffooof host connect

hhhphisical ports of the HBA

switch1 # config t

switch1 (config) # enable npiv

However the switch ports still show only the WWPN of the HBA physical ports connected hosts, and even virtual ones nn (NPIV feature does just that — enables the visibility of virtual HBA ports).

switch1 # config t

switch1 (config) # enable npiv
