Hi Mark,

what worries me right now most ist the kind of configuration.

if this is the kind of configuring, then i loose the ha-setup of my fc
configuration.
virsh attach-disk <domian-name> <npiv:physical port wwn/virtual port
wwn/array port wwn/LUN number> <target>

i've got
- x machines with 2 fc hbas
- 2 fc switches
- 2 sans with each having again 2 fc-hbas
- each machine is therefore connected to all sans completely failsafe
- on the machine itself i use automaticly the logical controller id
- without xen and npiv i don't care or see at all the failsafe installation
of the array.

now with this npiv configuration i have to assign one physical port on the
machine and loose therefor the failsafe installation on the host i used
before.
and i have to specify even a physical array port which makes this
configuration even less robust.

am i wrong? or did i misunderstood something here?

my first assumption was that with npiv i was able to give the xen guest
shared access to the logical fc-hba or the 2 physical fc-hbas. but that is
not the case in this example.

is there a way to propagate the npiv ports to the xen guest?

best regards,
Uwe
