Hi!

Since the thread on "Shopping for an all-in-one server" now turned into 
virtualization, I felt the urge to continue there, but instead I start a new 
thread here.

Many people on the list knows me as a storage- and fibre channel guy, wich is 
correct.

So, I would like to have the possibility to add a virtual Fc HBA, a so called 
NPIV(Node Port ID Virtualization), to a KVM virtual machine.

That is possible in Linux, but I believe they add it with the aid of virsh or 
libvirt. But what I've seen, it doesn't look like it would be impossible to add 
it without these libs/tools.

Are there any people on this list that has a clue? I guess Garret has...

Here are a link to RHEL where they discuss this, and give some advices. They 
"Create the XML definition for the virtual HBA", which perhaps is a possibility 
also for us in the illumos world...?
