Virtual Adapter (NPIV) Port
Creation and Verification
This section describes how to set up virtual ports and verify that they have been
created successfully.
Create Virtual Adapter Ports
Use QLogic’s SANsurfer FC HBA Manager (or SANsurfer FC HBA CLI) to create
virtual adapter ports. Perform the following steps on the VMM server to create a
virtual port on a host server.
1.
In the SANsurfer tree view (left pane), select the host server where you want
to create a virtual port (see
Figure 5-1
). Choose the host server based on
where the Virtual Machines will be placed. Click an FC adapter port to
expand and highlight the port.
