4. NPIV enablement can be verified by checking the fctargetportmode field, as shown in 
Example 8-4.

You can now configure your zones for hosts by using the primary host attach ports (virtual 
WWPNs) of the Storwize V7000 ports, as shown in bold in the output of Example 8-3 on 
page 322.
8.3.3  Enabling NPIV on an existing system
When IBM Spectrum Virtualize systems that are running code earlier than V7.7.1 are 
upgraded to V7.7.1 or later, the NPIV feature is not turned on by default because it might 
require changes to host-side zoning.
Enabling NPIV on a system requires that you complete the following steps after you meet the 
prerequisites:
1. Audit your SAN fabric layout and zoning rules because NPIV has stricter requirements. 
Ensure that equivalent ports are on the same fabric and in the same zone.
