Www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/partner/WWChannels/technology/ipc/downloads/UC_8_6_OG.pdf. Understanding NPIV and NPV. Two technologies that seem to have come to the fore recently are NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) and NPV (N_Port Virtualization). Judging just by the names, you might think that these two technologies are the same thing. While they are related in some aspects and can be used in a complementary way, they are quite different. What I’d like to do in this post is help explain these two technologies, how they are different, and how they can be used. I hope to follow up in future posts with some hands-on examples of configuring these technologies on various types of equipment. First, though, I need to cover some basics. N_Port: An N_Port is an end node port on the Fibre Channel fabric.

There are other types of ports as well—NL_Port, FL_Port, G_Port, TE_Port—but for the purposes of this discussion these three will get us started. N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) What NPIV does is allow a single physical N_Port to have multiple WWPNs, and therefore multiple N_Port_IDs, associated with it. Select license.

NAS & SAN

George Ou provides this overview to get you up to speed on the various storage subsystems and the devices and technologies that support them. This article is also available as a PDF download. Oftentimes, storage isn't given enough attention in system architecture, but it can make or break the service level agreement (SLA) for your application response times. Understanding how to build a cost-effective, high-performance storage system can save you money not only in the storage subsystem, but in the rest of the system as well.

Storage is a huge topic, but this article will give you a high-level look at how it all fits together. DAS, SAN, and NAS storage subsystems Direct attached storage (DAS), storage area network (SAN), and network attached storage (NAS) are the three basic types of storage. DAS -- direct attached storage Storage devices used to build a DAS storage subsystem. Block access & file access. EMC & VMware: IP Storage-iSCSI, NFS, or Fibre Channel?
