NPIV==Fibre Channel N_Port ID virtualization. ANSI T11 standard that describes how a single FC HBA port can register with the fabric using several worldwide port names(WWPNs)...
Question1: was NPIV introduced first in ESX4 ... if not then in what ESX version...?
Question2: is the following a correct statement...
"These are the methods of allocating storage that can be supported by certain storage arrays:
1) VMFS
2) RDM LUN
3) NPIV
4) RDM HBA
