Enabling Virtual Port Groups
4-2 ISR651101-00 C
Each blade has VPG 1 enabled by default; VPG 1 is the primary virtual port group
and cannot be disabled. Enabling additional virtual port groups creates additional
logical Fibre Channel HBA initiator ports on the fabric. These ports act as
separate Fibre Channel HBA host ports, and additional 256 LUNs can be
presented to each of them. With all four VPGs enabled, a single iSR6250 blade
can access up to1024 LUNs from a single target WWPN.
You can view Virtual Port Group information using the show vpgroups command
in the CLI, as shown in the following example.
iSR6200 <1> (admin) #> show vpgroups
