Chapter 2. Core procedures 27
Detailing the procedure to use NPIV follows. In the scenario described, it is
assumed that you have:
򐂰 A running standalone source host with rootvg on a SAN LUN
򐂰 A Virtual I/O Server with a physical NPIV-capable Fibre Channel adapter
allocated to it
򐂰 A destination client partition that is currently running with rootvg on virtual
SCSI disk
The client partition will be reconfigured such that it boots using the migrated SAN
LUN using virtual Fibre Channel.
Note: Be sure to have the virtual Fibre Channel client file set installed on the
standalone SAN rootvg before shutting down your standalone host for
migration. This is required for virtual Fibre Channel when rootvg is started on
the client partition.
