Certain Fc Hba Port Is Changed From Shared To Dedicated - Hitachi HVM Navigator V03-06 User Manual

Certain FC HBA port is changed from shared to dedicated

When an LPAR on the source or destination server blade which the shared FC
HBA port whose vfcID is "1" is assigned migrates, the following problems occur.
Duplication of displayed or retrieved WWN
When the FC HBA port set to shared mode is changed to dedicated mode,
WWN of the FC HBA port are displayed or retrieved wrongfully in the following
windows and by the following command.
(1) Display in LPAR List window in Viewer functions
(2) Display in Allocation FC Information menu on HVM console in LPAR
configuration functions
(3) Display in Allocation FC Information menu on HVM Screen
(4) Value retrieved by HvmSh
*: The original WWNs before migration are displayed or retrieved.
However WWNs exchanged by migration are assigned to the FC HBA port
when the scheduling mode for the FC HBA is changed to dedicated mode.
The avoidances for the above problems are shown below.
(1) Confirm WWNs of FC HBA port in dedicated mode on the display by
drvcfg command in EFI driver.
(2) Do not change FC HBA ports assigned to the LPAR to migrate to dedicated
mode
(3) Do not migrate an LPAR to which the shared FC HBA port whose vfcID is
"1" is assigned on the source HVM.
(4) Define a dummy LPAR on the destination HVM and then assign the LPAR to
the shared FC HBA port whose vfcID is "1".
