Setting FC Switch

Setting FC Switch to be necessary when using the "SAN boot".
• FC switch ports, which will be connected to 4 Gbps fibre channel adapter
in shared mode, should have NPIV enabled. With the portcfgshow
command, you can find whether or not NPIV is enabled.
If NPIV is disabled, enable the NPIV using the portcfgnpivport
command of FC switch. See the manual attached to the FC switch for how
to set and confirm NPIV.
• When the transfer rate of the FC port in an FC switch is the default value,
Auto-negotiation, LU in the storage may not be viewed because of the
discrepancy between the transfer rate of the FC port and that of the fibre
channel card.
In this case, change the transfer rate of the FC port to the same rate as
that of your fibre channel card using the portcfgspeed command.
