Enabling NPIV on the fabric switch
When installing the VC-FC module, NPIV must be enabled on the fabric switch that is attached to the VC-
FC module uplinks before the server blade HBAs can log in to the fabric. See the Fibre Channel switch
firmware documentation for information on whether it supports NPIV and for instructions on enabling this
support.
Brocade switch
Most Brocade Fibre Channel switches running Fabric OS 5.1.0 or later will support NPIV. All Brocade
4Gb- and 8Gb-capable Fibre Channel switches are configured with NPIV enabled by default.
When not enabled by default, use the portCfgNPIVPort command within the Brocade switch
command line interface to enable NPIV. For additional information on usage of the portCfgNPIVPort
command, see the Brocade switch firmware documentation.
To enable NPIV on all other Brocade Fibre Channel Switches, use the following Fabric OS CLI procedure:
1. To enable or disable NPIV on a port-by-port basis, use the portCfgNPIVPort command.
Example: To enable NPIV on port 10, enter following command:
switch:admin> portCfgNPIVPort 10, 1
2. To specify the number of virtual N_Port_IDs per port or per switch, use the configure command
with either of the following parameters:
switch.login.perPortMax—Use this parameter to set the number of virtual N_Port_IDs per port
to a value between 0 and 255. The default setting is 126.
switch.login.perSwitchMax—Use this parameter to set the number of virtual N_Port_IDs per
switch to a value between 0 and (126 * number of ports). The default setting is (15 * number of
ports).
Example:
switch:admin> switchdisable
switch:admin> configure
