I'm trying to use a LUN from the FC SAN with a virtual (NPIV) HBA. I read: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...tion_NPIV.html So vport_create creates a new virtual fibre channel HBA to send the LUN across. That all works, except after the server is rebooted, the virtual HBA disappears. How do I make it persist across reboots? I want to use the LUN in a libvirt/KVM storage pool. libvirt 1.0.x and higher can have the storage pool persist, but RedHat/CentOS 6.5 has libvirt 0.10.2.
