Figure 2-13 SAN port device details
The highlighted device port WWN is one that would be expected to be
seen. This means our virtual Fibre Channel connection has correctly
presented the virtual Fibre Channel to the SAN Switch. Some disk storage
devices may take a few seconds before the WWPN is presented to them.
Method 2: using telnet
a. telnet to the SAN switches’ management IP address and log in to the
SAN switch with a user login with at least read access. You should see a
prompt similar to the following:
itso-aus-san-01:admin>
In the prompt, itso-aus-san-01 is the name of the example SAN switch and
admin is the login user account. Your switch name and possibly your user
ID will be different.
b. Use the portcfgshow command to determine whether the port that you are
using has the NPIV capability value set to ON:
itso-aus-san-01:admin> portcfgshow
