8. Managing Adapters and Ports

FC/FCoE

101

Note: If the adapter or firmware does not support Volatile WWNs, the “Write

changes to volatile memory for temporary use” checkbox is disabled. This

type of change is supported locally and via TCP/IP connections. This

checkbox is disabled for remote in-band adapters regardless of adapter

models and firmware version.

8. Click OK. The New WWPN and new WWNN values are saved for Volatile or

Non-Volatile use. The new WWPN and WWNN appear in the Pending Changes

section in the WWN Management area of the Maintenance tab.

9. Reboot the system for the changes to take effect. The new WWPN and WWNN will

appear in the Pending Changes section of the Maintenance dialog box until the

system is rebooted. After rebooting, the changes are applied and appear in the

Current section of the Maintenance dialog box.

Note: For VMware ESXi 4.x: After changing the WWN of an adapter, you must

reboot the system before trying to access the adapter on that system. (Refer

to VMware’s documentation to learn how.)

Creating and Deleting FC/FCoE Virtual Ports

Creating Virtual Ports

The OneCommand Manager application can automatically generate the WWPN for the

virtual port based on the WWPN for the physical port or you can manually type the

WWPN. You cannot generate virtual ports on 1 Gb/s and 2 Gb/s adapters.

Note: Neither the OneCommand Manager application nor the hbacmd utility can be

used to create or delete virtual ports on any VMware ESX server. Whereas

VMware ESX server supports NPIV, only VMware management tools can be

used to create and delete virtual ports.

Note: In Linux, virtual ports do not persist across system reboots.

The NPIV driver parameter must be enabled before attempting to create a virtual port.

The driver parameter name varies slightly depending upon your operating system:

 For Windows: enableNPIV. On the Storport Miniport system, the SLIMode

driver parameter must also be set to 0 or 3.

 For Solaris: enable-npiv

 For Linux 8.2: lpfc_enable_npiv

See “Configuring the FC/FCoE Adapter Driver” on page 107 for more information on

enabling driver parameters.

To create a virtual port:

1. Do one of the following:

 From the View menu, select Group Adapters by Virtual Ports.

 From the toolbar, click Group Adapters by Virtual Ports.
