322 Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1
/SM590000Both nodes in an I/O group should have identical hardware to allow failover to work as 
expected. 
/SM590000The Fibre Channel switches to which the Storwize V7000 ports are attached must support 
NPIV and have this feature enabled.
8.3.2  Enabling NPIV on a new system
New Storwize V7000 systems that are shipped with V7.7 or later should have NPIV enabled 
by default. If your new Storwize V7000 does not have NPIV enabled, it can be enabled by 
completing the following steps:
1. Run the lsiogrp command to list the I/O groups present in a system, as shown in 
Example 8-1.
Example 8-1   Listing the I/O groups in a system
IBM_Storwize:ITSO-V7000:superuser>lsiogrp
id name            node_count vdisk_count host_count site_id site_name
0  io_grp0         2          2           1
1  io_grp1         0          0           1
2  io_grp2         0          0           1
3  io_grp3         0          0           1
4  recovery_io_grp 0          0           0
2. Run the lsiogrp <id> | grep fctargetportmode command for the specific I/O group ID to 
display the fctargetportmode setting. If this is enabled, as shown in Example 8-2, NPIV 
host target port mode is enabled.
Example 8-2   Checking NPIV mode with the fctargetportmode field
IBM_Storwize:ITSO-V7000:superuser>lsiogrp 0 | grep fctargetportmode
fctargetportmode enabled
IBM_Storwize:ITSO-V7000:superuser>
3. The virtual WWPNs can be listed using the lstargetportfc command, as shown in 
Example 8-3. Look for the host_io_permitted and virtualized columns to be yes, 
meaning the WWPN in those lines is a primary host attach port and should be used when 
zoning the hosts to the Storwize V7000.
Example 8-3   Listing the virtual WWPNs
