Command Example
N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) provides a FC facility for sharing a
single physical N_Port among multiple N_Port IDs, thereby allowing
multiple initiators, each with its own N_Port ID, to share the N_Port.
You can configure the number of allowed NPIV logins for a given
port and enable or disable the feature.
Valid values for the Login Limit are 1 to 256. When the feature is
enabled, NPIV number cannot be lowered if the NPIV devices have
been logged in already. To enable NPIV, the Product Feature
Enablement key has to be purchased from McDATA.
