Figure 21-9 Launching NPV Setup Wizard
Before the wizard starts, Fabric Manager checks if there are any NPV- and NPIV-capable switches from
the client's SAN. An NPV-capable switch has to be a Cisco MDS 9124, 9134, a HP Blade Server, or an
IBM Blade Server with SAN-OS version 3.2.2 and later. An NPIV-capable switch has to be Cisco switch
with SAN-OS 3.0.1 and later. If there are no NPV-capable switches, Fabric Manager displays an error
message. (See Figure 21-10.)
