    Hi,
    You need enable NPIV in:
    Storage
    Switch FC (comand Cisco FC Switchs)
    HBAs (OneCommand Manager for Emulex HBA)
    You need to:
    Create Virtual Port in every fisical server (OneCommand Manager for Emulex HBA)
    Zone your WWNN/WWPN in your Storage.
    Also please check if the requirements reported in this document are satisfied:

    Hi,
    Thanks for your prompt reply, i have two doubts please clarify..
    As we have one San connected direct to both host there is no San switch in between..

    I have created the virtual San manager...

    1- When i create virtual machine with generation 2 and attached the virtual San to vm so my vm doesn’t booth its give error..

    2- When i create the virtual machine with generation 1 and after attached the Vsan its working fine

    But when i create virtual machine with generation 1 so it’s working but when i use virtual machine wwpn number in SAN storage and map the volume so it doesn’t show under Guest Virtual machine
    Even i enable the mpio..

    That lun showing in physical server not in guest vm
