• vNICs support:
— a maximum of 8 standalone vNICs.

— HA vNICs are not yet supported from the Fabric Interconnect. However, server-based HA vNICs are available natively though the IPMP on the Solaris server.

• vHBAs support:
— a maximum of 4 standalone vHBAs.

— Connectivity to commonly available Brocade FC switches in fabric-port mode (f-port). NPIV login must be enabled on the FC switch.

— Dynamic LUN discovery is supported in situations when no LUN masking is present and either an RSCN message is sent from the storage target, or a user-initiated rescan occurs on the vHBA.

— HA vHBAs (multipathing) are not yet supported.
