2. Find an FC card (sanFc2Port4GbLrCard) on which you can terminate a vHBA:
3. Find an FC slot/port to which you will assign a vHBA.
In this example, 2/1 will be used:
The FC port (sanFc1GbPort) must be connected to a fibre-channel switch. In this
case, the show ioport state will be “up/up.” If you see “up/down,” the cable
might be disconnected from the port or the port is disabled on the remote switch.
A fibre-channel port can auto negotiate its speed up to 1, 2, and 4 Gbps.
4. Create a vHBA, bind it to the server profile, and specify a slot/port on which to
terminate the vHBA:
In this example, the vHBA is “vhba1” and the server profile is “myserver.” The
FC slot is “2,” and the FC port is “1.” When you add a vHBA and specify a
termination point, a vHBA is created on the server automatically (assuming the
correct host software is installed). If devices connect through that port, the hosts
will begin to discover the targets.
5. Define the target order (see “Persistent Binding” on page 142).
If you receive the error message “Invalid vhba name - parent does not exist”, then
the server profile was not created successfully.
