I have an ESXI server connected to a Fibre Channel over Ethernet switch in NPV mode.
Let's talk about the series of events that occurs...
The native Fibre Channel port on the NPV-enabled switch logs into the fabric and receives an FCID.
The HBA component of the server's CNA sends a FLOGI, which is converted to an FDISC by the NPV-enabled switch and sent to the fabric. The fabric returns an FCID for the server's CNA.
Does it end there OR does each VM then send a FLOGI, which then gets converted to an FDISC -- and do they then receive an FCID accordingly?
Cant seem to find a single article anywhere about this.
