Use this screen to turn on or off NPIV Mode (N_Port ID Virtualization) support for the front end Fibre Channel IO cards.
Before FC local ports can be converted to Virtual Port Mode, support for NPIV Mode must be turned On for all front end FC IO Cards. Do this prior to converting to Virtual Port Mode to allow the FC IO cards to communicate with the switches and determine if NPIV is supported.
To use Virtual Port Mode with FC, your switch must support NPIV and it must be turned on.
