Hi all,

I am actually deploying NPIVs virtual ports on Sparc M7 to virtualize vhba to guest domains.

I create multiple NPIV ports and allocate the virtual port to guests using ldm add-io.

The problem is virtual port number , below the issue :

1. create 1 npiv vp : fcadm create -n 1000000001 -p 2000000001 phys_port

2. fcinfo hba-port shows :

...

  Virtual Port1:

                Node WWN: 1000000001

                Port WWN: 2000000001

...

3. ldm ls-hba primary shows :

/SYS/CMIOU0/PCIE1/HBA0/PORT0,0                     

[/pci@303/pci@1/SUNW,emlxs@0/fp@0,0]             

/SYS/CMIOU0/PCIE1/HBA0/PORT0,1                      <----- my npiv

[/pci@303/pci@1/SUNW,emlxs@0/fp@0,1]   

4. When I add another NPIV port :  fcadm create -n 1000000003 -p 2000000003 phys_port

5. fcinfo hba-port shows :

Howdy, Stranger!
