AG-1001
Message <timestamp>, [AG-1001], <sequence-number>,, ERROR, <system-name>, N_Port ID
virtualization (NPIV) is not supported by fabric port connected to port <port>.
Probable Cause N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) capability is not supported by the fabric port to which the Access
Gateway is connected.
Recommended
Action
• On Brocade, Fabric OS based switches execute the portCfgNpivPort command on the fabric
switch to enable NPIV capability on the port connected to the Access Gateway. Refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference manual for more information on this command.
• Some blades within a switch or some ports within a switch or blade may not have support for
NPIV capability. NPIV functionality cannot be enabled on such ports and they will not respond
to NPIV requests. refer to the Access Gateway Administrator Guide, Appendix B for specific AG
compatibility requirements.
• On non-Brocade switches, refer to the manufacture's documentation to determine whether the
switch supports NPIV and how to enable NPIV on these types of switches.
