Using Fibre Channel NPIV Technology — Key

Conclusions

This section effectively demonstrates the core benefits of deploying Fibre

Channel NPIV technology with Windows Server 2008 R2 and SC VMM2008 R2.

These benefits include:

 Workload isolation and security, consistent with enterprise storage best

practices, is achieved by mapping/presenting the LUN containing the VM to

a virtual host bus adapter port.

 IT agility is achieved by enabling on-demand VM migrations without the

need for SAN re-zoning. When multiple host servers are deployed in a

SAN, the VM can be migrated to any of these destinations.

 Quick migration is achieved by migrating the virtual host bus adapter port

instead of moving the VM‘s bits. The smaller amount of metadata

transferred results in a less than one-minute (59 seconds) VM migration.

 Solution scalability is delivered by creating multiple virtual host bus

adapter ports on a single Fibre Channel adapter and assigning them to

each VM workload. QLogic adapters can currently enable scaling of up to

15 virtualized workloads through the creation of NPIV ports on a single host

bus adapter.
