    Quick Start Guide Overview This guide describes the steps that a data center system administrator should follow to deploy the QLogic Fibre Channel (FC) adapter N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) solution in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V environments in conjunction with Microsoft System Center (SC) Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008. The combined QLogic and Microsoft solution enables storage administrators to create virtual adapter ports within multiple FC switch zones to enable seamless configuration and free migration of virtual machines.

The switch is configured by creating the appropriate zones. Refer to your switch configuration guide for more details.

Present the LUNs to the Virtual Adapter Port Refer to your storage array vendor’s documentation; look for sections that describe how to create LUNs and selective presentation/LUN masking to WWPNs. Use these instructions to create and present LUNs to the virtual adapter port. Ensure that the size of the LUNs meets the disk requirements of the operating system you plan to install in the VM.
