Quick Start Guide
Overview
This guide describes the steps that a data center system administrator should follow to deploy the QLogic Fibre Channel
(FC) adapter N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) solution in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V environments in
conjunction with Microsoft System Center (SC) Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008. The combined QLogic and
Microsoft solution enables storage administrators to create virtual adapter ports within multiple FC switch zones to
enable seamless configuration and free migration of virtual machines.
Setting up NPIV and configuring Hyper-V and VMM2008 for VM migration can be done in six simple steps.
