HP Integrity VM 4.3 N-Port ID Virtualization - A brief overview

Conclusion

With HP Integrity VM's NPIV feature, VMs can now directly address more storage, as well as run applications that

need direct access or control of LUNs. NPIV also improves security since the LUNs are directly assigned to, and

accessible only by the target VM, so the host or other VMs cannot access the data. NPIV guests can also utilize the

full HP-UX multipathing capability, improving the overall availability of the storage.

In short, NPIV improves the scalability, security, and availability of storage connected to the HP Integrity Virtual

Machines guests.
