QLogic Fibre Channel Adapter NPIV Solution
1-6
With the combined QLogic and Microsoft solution, storage administrators can
create virtual adapter ports and assign them to VMs for migration without having
to reconfigure any zoning or LUN masking settings. This solution creates a
virtualized network that is easy to manage and maintain.
Benefits of the QLogic NPIV solution include:
 Lower TCO. One physical adapter can support multiple virtual WWNs.
 Increased security and flexibility
 SAN quick migration
 Intelligent PRO performance optimization (with QLogic PROPack and
Microsoft SC VMM2008 R2)
 Monitoring and tracking virtual port statistics to capture VM traffic
measurements enable granular chargeback
For a detailed discussion of NPIV benefits, see the QLogic White Paper HBA
Virtualization Technologies for Windows OS Environments.
