When trying to create a
virtual adapter port,
SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager reports an
“Unable to Create vPort”
error.
The creation of the virtual
adapter port has failed;
there are multiple reasons
why this happens.
Ensure that the physical FC
adapter port is connected to an
NPIV-capable switch.
Ensure that the physical FC
adapter port is in a
point-to-point connection.
Ensure that there is not
another virtual adapter port
with the same WWN.
Ensure that the link is up.
Check the QLogic FC adapter
driver version to verify that it is
the latest available version for
the platform being used.
Cannot find the “Virtual”
tab in SANsurfer FC
HBA Manager
Either the version of SAN-
surfer FC HBA Manager or
the QLogic FC adapter you
are using does not support
NPIV creation.
Upgrade to the latest version
of QLogic SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager or ensure that you
have selected a QLogic 2400
or 2500 series FC adapter.
In SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager, no LUNs are
listed under the
Target
List
tab for a virtual
adapter port.
This functionality is not yet
supported.
Check
www.qlogic.com
for
updated drivers and SANsurfer
FC HBA Manager revisions.
