The FCP adapter requires N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) from the adjacent
fibre channel node. Either the FCP adapter is connected to a fibre channel
switch that does not support NPIV or the FCP adapter tries to use NPIV in a
point-to-point setup. The connection is not operational.
User response
Verify that NPIV is correctly used for this connection. Check the FCP adapter
configuration and the fibre channel switch configuration. If necessary,
update the fibre channel switch firmware.
