...nodedev-list --cap vports'. If no HBA is returned, then the host configuration should be checked. The XML output from the command "virsh nodedev-dumpxml" will list fields <name>, <wwnn>, and <wwpn> to be used in order to create a vHBA. Take care to also note the <max_vports> value as this lets you know if the HBA is going to exceed the maximum vHBA supported. The following output indicates a host that has two HBAs to support vHBA and the layout of a HBA's XML: # virsh nodedev-list --cap vports scsi_host4 scsi_host5 # virsh nodedev-dumpxml scsi_host5 <dev...

Hi! Report from my multipath tests today. My test virtual machine, that runs from an NPIV pool, is not able to use multipath. When I pulled the cable from one of the targets, it crashed. But, strangely, it could boot up again on that other path, that it just crashed on. That tells me it can use both paths, and is not limited to one of them only, but because the multipath layer isn't
