Hi,

Can anyone let me know how we need to configure the NPIV on the cisco switches MDS9513. I need some virtual fabric zoning using NPIV for some Virtual servers and provision the storage using those virtual FC IDs.

I have just read about the NPIV but never worked on it and don't know if there is any performance hit since at the backend it is a signle port configured into multiple one's.

Is there any procedure anyone can share which can help me configure, create and zone the virtual FC IDs and allocate storage on them.

Hope the question is clear

Thanks

Rahul
