rx5670 NPIV support
We have rx5670 ipf servers. I want to try NPIV with them. But the FC adapters I have, are
HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapters
which i dont think supports NPIV. Can anyone confirm that and if possible suggest any FC cards compatible with this servers that support NPIV?

Re: rx5670 NPIV support
Have a look at this document:
HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.1 Administrator Guide
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c03233037/c03233037.pdf
Page 53, section 5.2 listed some supported HBAs, though it does say "The supported HBAs include, but are not be limited to:"
The adapters it lists include only 8Gb adapters. I believe the Tachyon XL2 are only 2 Gb and likely predate any of the NPIV.

Re: rx5670 NPIV support
At the moment only cards that are supported by fcd driver are supported for NPIV. Tachyon/Tachlite cards supported by 'td' driver are not and will not support NPIV.

Re: rx5670 NPIV support
the rx5670 is just too old for this - it only supported 1Gb and 2Gb FC PCI and PCI-X cards... none of these old cards are NPIV capable. If you want to experiment with NPIV, you'll need to do it on something that is PCIe capable to get a supported card.
