Deployment Guide

The switchshow command displays the number of base devices as "1" and the
number of NPIV devices. If the base device is logged out, the output displays
only the number of NPIV devices.
When base device logout is enabled and the base device has logged out, the
portshow command output displays a FLOGI_LOGO with other port flags, and
the PWWNs of the NPIV devices.
When base device is logged out, the agShow, fdmiShow, and nsShow
commands do not list the base device information.
Viewing NPIV port configuration information
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the portCfgShow command to view the switch ports information.
The following example shows whether a port is configured for NPIV:
switch:admin> portcfgshow

3. Use the switchShow and portShow commands to view NPIV information for a given port. If a port is
an F_Port, and you enter the switchShow command, then the port WWN of the N_Port is returned.
For an NPIV F_Port, there are multiple N_Ports, each with a different port WWN. The switchShow
command output indicates whether or not a port is an NPIV F_Port, and identifies the number of
virtual N_Ports behind it. The following example is sample output from the switchShow command:
switch:admin> switchshow
