aaaaaahhh yeahhhh..... a dark corner of memory gets its first ray of light in a while....
V7000 and other storwize related products ( SVC, FS9xxx ) now do NPIV on the storage side by default if you are doing a new install. You have to explicitly enable it if you are upgrading from older versions. Ostensibly this feature is there to enable easier storage migrations down the line, since the WWPN you're configuring into the SAN zone and on the operating system side is now virtual. It is supposed to make switching the physical storage box out from under the running OS by using box managed copy services like metro-mirror easier and more automate-able without having to take a planned outage. This obviously also requires a SAN switch for it to work since it uses NPIV. -- Jay Brenneman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
