Mapping pWWN to Virtual pWWN

You can configure virtual pWWNs through real pWWNs. This is required for NPIV hosts containing
multiple pWWNs, of which only FLOGI is mapped to the virtual pWWN. Subsequent FDSIDs will have
different mappings.
Several checks are done by the NPV core to ensure the uniqueness of virtual pWWNs in the switch across
the NPV switches. When duplicate virtual pWWNs are configured, the subsequent logins are rejected by
the NPV core switch.To map pWWN to virtual pWWN, follow these steps:
Step 1 Click the Physical to Virtual WWNs tab in the FlexAttach window.
You see the Physical to Virtual WWWNs tab view as shown in
