Abstract
Embodiments of an N-Port ID virtualization (NPIV) proxy module, NPIV proxy switching system, and methods are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, login requests are distributed over a plurality of available N-ports to allow servers to be functionally coupled to F-ports of a plurality of fiber-channel (FC) switches. Fiber-channel identifiers (FCIDs) are assigned to the servers in response to the logon requests to provide single end-host operations for each of the servers.
