Situation Resolution
VPort creation failure. If an error occurs during VPort creation, an error message
indicates the failure. There are several conditions that must be
met before a virtual port can be created. This may be the
problem. For a detailed list of unsatisfied conditions:
1) Start the OneCommand Manager application.
2) Select View>Group Adapters by Virtual Port from the Main
menu.
3) In the discovery-tree, select the physical port on which you
would like to create a virtual port.
4) The Virtual Ports tab should contain a list of unsatisfied
conditions (if any) that are preventing a virtual port from
being created. If there are no unsatisfied conditions, yet
VPort creation still fails, contact Emulex technical support.
Virtual ports for unsupported adapter or host. When you select an unsupported adapter port or host that is
running an older version of the OneCommand Manager
application, “Virtual Ports not available on this HBA or Host”
appears in the Virtual Port window.
Port not ready. The controls in the New Virtual Port box of the Virtual Port
window are replaced by a list of reasons why VPorts cannot be
created. The reasons can be one or more of the following:
• The driver NPIV parameter is disabled.
• SLI-3 is not being used by a port.
• The adapter port is out of resources for additional virtual
ports.
• The port is not connected to a fabric.
• The fabric switch does not support virtual ports.
• The fabric switch is out of resources for additional virtual
ports.
• The port link state is down.
