Here is what I mean.  Here are two guests on our vmax npiv array.

slx111cln1:~ # lszfcp -D
0.0.0400/0x50000972081ca531/0x0000000000000000 0:0:0:0

slxosdev2:~ # lszfcp -D
0.0.0400/0x50000972081ca531/0x0000000000000000 0:0:1:0

With NPIV, the wwpn and LUN that the guest “sees” are the same.

I do not see any problem with this.  A unique disk is determined by a 
combination of LUN and WWPN.  As long as those values are specified as 16 byte 
characters, you should be good.

________________________________



We have implemented NPIV with our EMC storage array.  It looks like xCAT is 
maintaining a pool of zfcp devices but all of our servers have their LUN 
addressing staring at “0000”.  Is this a problem with implementing zfcp with 
xCAT?
