Virtual Port configuration
Virtual ports (V_Ports) appear to the hosts as physical ports in the data network. One or more
virtual ports are assigned to each host, and a host can access storage at a virtual port only if the
virtual port has been assigned to the host.
NOTE
You cannot create a V_Port that already exists in the Names dialog. If you need to re-create a V_Port
that has been deleted through an interface other than the currently managing HCM or the V_Ports
deleted on Linux servers reboot, you must first manually remove the V_Port’s WWN from the Names
dialog box in HCM. If you do not manually remove the V_Port from HCM, an error message displays
that the V_Port already exists. See
“Removing a name entry” on page 43 for instructions.
Creating a Virtual Port
You create virtual ports on HBA ports and FCoE ports only; virtual ports are not supported on an
adapter. Virtual ports are not supported for VMware and Solaris agents.
1. Select a physical HBA port or an FCoE port from the device tree.
2. Select Configure > Virtual Port > Create from the main menu.
OR
Right-click the physical port and select Virtual Port > Create from the list.
The Virtual Port Creation dialog box displays. The following fields are system-generated:
•
Physical port world wide name.
•
Virtual port world wide name - This WWN must be unique.
•
Virtual node world wide name - The system returns the default node WWN, which is the
physical port node WWN.
