Node Port Identifier Virtualization (NPIV) is a feature that allows
you to assign multiple Fibre Channel addresses (N_port IDs) to a
single physical N_port.
The NPIV page allows you to enable and disable NPIV logins and to
configure the number of NPIV login sessions that are allowed for a
port.
NOTE: NPIV is available only if the N_port ID Virtualization feature is
installed.
Use the following procedure to configure NPIV functionality:
1. If you are decreasing the number of allowed logins for a port, set
the product offline. To set the product offline, clear the Switch
Online check box on the Configure menu.
2. Select Configure > Ports > NPIV on the navigation panel. The NPIV
configuration page (Figure 3-3) displays.
