DPVM Configuration Guidelines

</h1>
<a name="wp1073335"> </a><p class="pBody">
When NPV is enabled, the following requirements must be met before you configure DPVM on the NPV 
core switch:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1073336"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">You must explicitly configure the WWN of the internal FLOGI in DPVM. If DPVM is configured 
on the NPV core switch for an end device that is connected to the NPV device, then that end device 
must be configured to be in the same VSAN. Logins from a device connected to an NPV device will 
fail if the device is configured to be in a different VSAN. To avoid VSAN mismatches, ensure that 
the internal FLOGI VSAN matches the port VSAN of the NP port.
</li>
<a name="wp1073337"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">The first login from an NP port determines the VSAN of that port. If DPVM is configured for this 
first login, which is the internal login of the NPV device, then the NPV core switch’s VSAN F port 
is located in that VSAN. Otherwise, the port VSAN remains unchanged. 
</li>
</ul></div>
