Re: [Power9 with Direct Attached V50x0

Diego,
I think I know why. The non-NPIV ports are still active, they are just
tagged as not-in-use. Evidently the Storwize code didn't care about the
ports being tagged and just updated the "known" WWPN list with the HBAs.
Great that you got it working!

Roberto,

WWPNs appeared just a couple of seconds when starting IBM i LPAR and I
could map them to host configuration.

And you are right... doesn't make sense

Just to clarify, when "enabled" the storwize forces everything (host and
node traffic) thru the NPIV wwpns, and they don't work without a switch

so

in a direct attach situation you end up like this. What's weird to me is
that you said you were able to see the host's WWPN and map the volumes.

If

NPIV is active, and therefore the link can't be established due to a lack
of switching, how did you map them?

Thank you both! That was the issue!

I changed the value to "transitional" and worked on first attempt

Kristopher does bring up a good point. Double check that the FC ports

being used on the v5000 show as “Host IO Permitted”. The

fctargetportmode

may be set wrong on the v5000. It must be Disabled or Transitional.

v5000 CLI command
Lsiogrp 0

Look for fctargetportmode

We don't have virtual wwpns. I remember you need a SAN Switch for that.

You need to disable the virtual wwpns (NPIV) on the V5K

controller.
