@ 2009 IBM Corporation vvvvvvvv PowerVM Advanced Implementation Hands-on Workshop Power 虚拟化实施专家级课程 NPIV Concepts N_Port ID Virtualization N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) provides direct Fibre Channel connections from client partitions to SAN resources , simplifying SAN management Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is owned by VIOS partition Each Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter port (2 ports per card) can be used by many client partitions Supported with PowerVM Express, Standard, and Enterprise Edition Supports AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 partitions Power 520, 550, 560, 570 and 595, with an 8 GB PCIe Fibre Channel Adapter . Flexible configurations Live Partition Mobility(LPM) and NPIV Dynamic Heterogeneous Multi-Path I/O Dedicated HBAs can be utilized in high performance partitions Delivers flexibility for Live Partition Mobility environments Provides efficient path redundancy to SAN resources Supported between virtual NPIV and physical Fibre Channel Adapters AIX 5.3 and 6.1 partitions POWER6 processor-based servers NPIV Implementation Demo 1 Using DLPAR, add in a Virtual Fibre Channel SERVER adapter to the VIOS Demo 2 Using DLPAR, add in a Virtual Fibre Channel CLIENT adapter to the client partition Demo 3 Show that the virtual FC is now part of the VIOS but isn’t yet mapped to the client Demo 4 Map the VFC between the VIOS and the client
