Abstract:
A method for fiber channel (FC) host virtualization includes determining a virtual N_Port identification (ID) that is assigned and used by a host to route a frame from the host to a switch of a FC storage area network (SAN) fabric, and determining a FC SAN fabric based location N_Port ID that is assigned by the FC SAN fabric to the host to route the frame within the FC SAN fabric. The method further includes mapping, by a processor, the host assigned virtual N_Port ID to the FC SAN fabric based location N_Port ID.
