Converting to Virtual Ports
Note Turn on NVIP Mode prior to converting an FC IO card.
Before FC local ports can be converted to Virtual Port Mode, support for N_Port ID
Virtualization (NPIV) Mode must be turned on for all front end FC IO Cards. Do this prior to
converting to Virtual Port Mode to allow the FC IO cards to communicate with the switches
and determine if NPIV is supported.
1 From the Storage Management menu, choose System > Setup > Convert to Virtual Ports
> NPIV Mode On All FC IO Cards > Turn On NVIP Mode. A window appears asking you to
confirm turning on NPIV Mode for front end FC IO cards.
2 From the Storage Management menu, choose System > Setup > Convert to Virtual Ports.
The Convert to Virtual Ports wizard appears.
