Usage
Information
Use the show npiv devices command to display information on the server CNA, server-facing
Ethernet and fabric-facing FC ports, and the SAN fabric in each server-fabric connection over an FN I/O
Aggregator with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway.
The following describes the show npiv devices brief output shown in the example.
Field Description
ENode-Intf FN I/O Aggregator with the FC Flex IO module Ethernet interface (slot/port) to
which a server CNA is connected.
ENode-WWPN Worldwide port name (WWPN) of a server CNA port.
FCoE-Vlan VLAN ID of the dedicated VLAN used to transmit FCoE traffic to and from the
fabric.
Fabric-Intf Fabric-facing Fibre Channel port (slot/port) on which FC traffic is transmitted to
the specified fabric.
Fabric-Map Name of the FCoE map containing the FCoE/FC configuration parameters for the
server CNA-fabric connection.
LoginMethod Method used by the server CNA to log in to the fabric; for example:
FLOGI - ENode logged in using a fabric login (FLOGI).
FDISC - ENode logged in using a fabric discovery (FDISC).
Status Operational status of the link between a server CNA port and a SAN fabric: Logged
In - Server has logged in to the fabric and is able to transmit FCoE traffic.
