What are vHBA or virtual HBA?
Issue
- RHEL 6.3 What's New document states that:
"Automatically World Wide Port Names
The ability to automatically generate unique World Wide Port Names (WWPN) and World Wide
Node Names (WWNN) for virtual Host Bus Adapters (vHBAs) is also new in the 6.3 release.
When KVM assigns unique WWPNs and WWNNs to the vHBAs, the device XML is automatically
updated with the necessary information. This feature grants the benefit of automatic
generation of names that is scriptable, eliminating a time-consuming, error-prone
manual process. "
- Does "vHBAs" refer to virtual FC, or virtual SCSI adapter, or both?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3
