Manually Assigning FlexAttach Virtual pWWN

</h1>
<a name="wp1073010"> </a><p class="pBody">
You can manually assign a WWN to the interface, without generating it through the switch. Several 
checks are done by the NPV core to ensure the uniqueness of virtual pWWNs in the switch. When 
duplicate virtual pWWNs are configured, the subsequent logins are rejected by the NPV core switch.

</p>
<a name="wp1077440"> </a><h2 class="pHeading2">
Prerequisites
</h2>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1073011"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Some ports may be in automode, some in manual mode, and the virtual pWWNs need not be 
assigned.
</li>
<a name="wp1073012"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">The port must be in a shut state when a virtual pWWN is assigned.
</li>
</ul></div>
<a name="wp1078180"> </a><h2 class="pHeading2">
Restrictions
</h2>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1082406"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">The interface mentioned in the interface value must be in a shut state.

Detailed Steps
</h2>
<a name="wp1105078"> </a><p class="pBody">
To enable virtual pWWN on each interface manually, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1105079"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">In the Physical Attributes pane, expand <b class="cBold">Switches&#160;&gt;&#160;FC Services&#160;&gt;&#160;N_Port Virtualizer (NPV)&#160;&gt;&#160;Flex 
Attach</b>. 
</li>
<a name="wp1105080"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The FlexAttach configuration pane appears to the right.

</p>
<a name="wp1105081"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the<b class="cBold"> Virtual pWWNs</b> tab.
</li>
<a name="wp1105082"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The Virtual pWWN tab view displays a list of the interfaces.

</p>
<a name="wp1105083"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Check the <b class="cBold">Auto</b> check box to automatically generate the virtual pWWN value for the selected interface.
</li>
<a name="wp1105084"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The virtual port WWN value for the selected interface in DCNM-SAN is automatically generated.
