storage SC2020 with cisco mds 9148s FC
hello,
it's a new integration for the storage sc2020
I connected the storage properly by following the manual with tow san switchs cisco MDS 9148s 16G FC
when i initialized the storage i noticed that virtual ports does not exist
after the initialization has been finished I noticed that the virtual ports are disabled:
when i do this command in cisco switch
show flogi database
i can see only the physical ports
so the virtual ports does not exist to configure zoning.
any help please ??

Make sure your switches support NPIV. If this is not enabled you will need to enable this to get the Virtual Ports configured. Verify you have a license that includes Virtual Ports. It is unlikely that this was not included, but it is worth verifying.
If you have support you may wish to call in for assistance.

Re: Enabling NPIV
You must globally enable NPIV for all VSANs on the MDS switch to allow the NPIV-enabled applications to use multiple N port identifiers.
Note All of the N port identifiers are allocated in the same VSAN
Enable NPIV mode on the NPV core switch:
switch(config)# npiv enable
switch (config)#
enabling NPIV on the core switch is non-disruptive. DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH ENABLING NPV MODE on a switch

Did the problem resolved after enabling NPIV?
