After reboot, the virtual HBAs - NPIV (N-Port virtualization) are in the state "Bypassed"
Issue
- After updating the firmware of the Emulex Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and creating N-Port virtualized HBAs, the created HBAs appear with status Bypassed and not Online. The system also is unable to access LUNs configured to those HBAs.
- If the fibre-channel HBA is scanned by using
rescan-scsi-bus.sh, the system gets stuck and the virtual HBAs change its status to Bypassed.
Environment
