Virtual port mode cabling example with iSCSI
Note: To use virtual ports with FC, all FC switches and host bus adapters (HBAs) must support N_Port ID
Virtualization (NPIV).
Note: In virtual port mode, iSCSI uses a control port configured for each fault domain. Servers connect to the
control port, which then redirects traffic automatically to the appropriate virtual port on the SC Series array.
