Syntax:
hbacmd CreateVPort <physical WWPN> auto [vname]
Or
hbacmd CreateVPort <physical WWPN> <virtual WWPN> <virtual WWNN> [vname]
Description: This command creates a virtual port with an automatically generated WWPN or a user
specified virtual WWPN on the specified physical port. If you specify “auto”, the virtual WWPN is
generated automatically. Otherwise, you must specify the virtual WWPN for this parameter. If creation is
successful, the WWPN is displayed as part of the output from the command. The optional [vname]
parameter can be specified for the virtual port's name.
Note: For managing ESX/ESXi hosts from a Windows client, add the m=cim option to
the command. The default CIM credentials must be set using the SetCimCred
command. See “SetCimCred” on page 250.
Note: Supported by FC and FCoE adapter ports only.
Note: In Linux, VPorts do not persist across system reboots.
