Would this work for NPIV? For example, the WWPN of the physical FCP channel is 5005076401A26859 and the NPIV WWPN of the subchannel (1605) is C05076F47B8003D4. The assigned LUNs I see from the Linux side are 0000000000000000 and 0001000000000000.

Create aliases for the hosts HBA's on each switch Example:switch_1> alicreate " HOSTNAME01_HBA_0","10:00:00:c9:69:3d:53" switch_2> alicreate " HOSTNAME01_HBA_1","10:00:00:c9:69:ae:4e" Create the zones with the new wwpns: switch_1> zonecreate "Z_HOSTNAME01_A", "HOSTNAME01_HBA_0" switch_2> zonecreate "Z_HOSTNAME01_B", "HOSTNAME01_HBA_1" They should be able to add the storage members to the zones same as they do today...
