Mapping pWWN to Virtual pWWN

You can configure virtual pWWNs through real pWWNs. This process is required for NPIV hosts
containing multiple pWWNs, of which only FLOGI is mapped to the virtual pWWN. Subsequent
FDSIDs will have different mappings.
Several checks are done by the NPV core to ensure the uniqueness of virtual pWWNs in the switch across
the NPV switches. When duplicate virtual pWWNs are configured, the subsequent logins are rejected by
the NPV core switch.To map pWWN to virtual pWWN, follow these steps:
In the FlexAttach window, select the Physical to Virtual WWNs tab.
