VPort Commands
Note: Supported by FC and FCoE adapter ports only.
This command creates a virtual port with an automatically-generated WWPN or a
user-specified virtual WWPN on the specified physical port. If you specify “auto”, the
virtual WWPN is generated automatically. Otherwise, you must specify the virtual
WWPN for this parameter. If creation is successful, the WWPN is displayed as part of
the output from the command. The [vname] optional parameter can be specified for the
virtual port’s name.
Note: In Linux, VPorts do not persist across system reboots.
