XEN and NPIV

[jmozdzen]

[...] When creating NPIV domU's normally, the xen hosts don't need presenting with the LUN, (from the SAN, or zoning from the FC switch). Is this the same on SLES10SP2?. Only the WWN of the VM needs zoning, and presented from the SAN. [...]

That''s the same for SLES10SP2 - but at least on SLES10SP2, it's the Dom0 that creates the virtual adapter, so the LUNs are visible to the Dom0 - ie with "lsscsi". I'd prefer if the DomU driver could route NPIV requests through the Dom0 driver, so that the Dom0 utilities would see plain nothing from the NPIV.
