Automatically Assigning FlexAttach Virtual pWWN

Automatic assignment of virtual pWWN can be configured on an NPV switch globally, per VSAN, or per port. When assigned automatically, a virtual WWN is generated from the device local switch WWN.

Prerequisites

The port must be in a shut state when the virtual pWWN is enabled.

Detailed Steps

To enable virtual pWWN automatically for all the interfaces, follow these steps:

1. From the Device Manger menu bar, select FC > FlexAttach.

You see the FlexAttach window.

2. Check the VirtualWwnAuto check box to enable automatic generation of virtual WWNs on all the fabric port interfaces.

Troubleshooting Tips

• When the interface-list value is not included in the command, virtual pWWN is assigned globally.
• All the interfaces mentioned in the interface-list value must be in a shut state.
