Explanation

NPIV Is Not Enabled If NPIV is not enabled on the NPV core switch: Step 1. Enter the show npv status command to check the status of the link: Step 2. If the state is "Failed" with the reason "NPIV is not enabled in upstream switch," then you must enable NPIV on the core NPV switch. The NPV core switch is defined as an upstream switch on which NPIV is enabled. The NPV core switch receives traffic that is passed to it from a downstream switch that has NPV enabled on it. A switch that is in NPV mode does not switch traffic; instead, it passes traffic to the upstream NPV core switch on which NPIV is enabled. After NPIV is enabled on the core NPV switch, the port should automatically come up (unless there are other issues). g/guide/trblgd/ts_npv.html
