HP vPars and Integrity Virtual Machines V6.1 Administrator Guide

If NPIV is supported, running the command again with the new npiv_info option provides
information about all of the running virtual HBAs currently associated with this physical HBA:
# /opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/fcd0 npiv_info
PFC Hardware Path = 0/0/0/5/0/0/0
PFC DSF = /dev/fcd0
PFC Class Instance = 0
PFC Driver state = ONLINE
PFC Port WWN = 0x5001438001459910
PFC Node WWN = 0x5001438001459911
PFC Switch Port WWN = 0x201400051ef06bd3
PFC Switch Node WWN = 0x100000051ef06bd3
FlexFC Virtual Fibre Channel (VFC)
----------------------------------
Maximum Supported FlexFC VFC = 16
Number Active FlexFC VFC = 0
HPVM Virtual Fibre Channel (VFC)
----------------------------------
Maximum Supported HPVM VFC = 16
Number Active HPVM VFC = 1
The following provides the list of VFC(s) associated with this PFC:
Type = HPVM VFC
VFC Index = 17
VFC Guest ID = 0x4
VFC Port WWN = 0x50014c2000000007
VFC Node WWN = 0x50014c2800000023
VFC Driver state = ONLINE
VFC DSF = /dev/fcd6
VFC Class Instance = 6
5.3.2 WWNs – Finding and using WWNs
You can allocate and manage unique WWNs for NPIV HBAs using the HP-UX GUID Manager
which is a client-server based product. Using this application ensures that you do not have to
perform these tasks manually.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends using the HP-UX GUID Manager to allocate and maintain WWNs
and vWWNs. For more information about HP-UX GUID Manager, see the HP-UX GUID Manager
Administrator Guide available on the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-hpvm-docs.
5.3.3 Configuring an NPIV HBA (vHBA)
The overall configuration process for NPIV HBA is the same as with AVIO. For configuring NPIV
HBAs, a new 'storage' type called NPIV is introduced.
The following sections describe how an NPIV HBA resource is specified and how the existing vPar
commands are used to configure and manage them.
5.3.3.1 Specifying an NPIV HBA resource
An NPIV resource is specified using the following format:
devicetype:adaptertype:bus,device,vWWP,vWWN:storage:device
where:
devicetype The virtual device type as seen in the vPar. For NPIV this will be hba.
adaptertype The adapter type as seen in the vPar. For NPIV, the adaptor type is avio_stor.
bus The PCI bus number for the virtual device and can range from 0 to 7.
device The PCI slot number for the virtual device and can range from 0 to 7.
