Code:
Then using this information check that the storage is zoned to the Physical WWNs and the Virtual WWNs on both adapters.

I have learned that it is not recommendet to zone the physical WWN from the NPIV-adapter.

Code:
I was still not able to see it in my SAN switch during any of this process.

We ran into the same problem as we have begun to setup our new virtual systems.
After some hot discussions with our SAN/Storage Group, they create the zones/mappings with the WWPNs which we are giving to them without seeing the ports logged in.

But after activating (opening) the adapter in the SMS menu, you should be able to see (one of) the WWPN on your switch - may it take some time till the switch refresh the list of logged in ports.

NAME
scconf_transp_adap_hme - configure the hme transport adapter DESCRIPTION
Note - Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor- mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page. You can configure hme Ethernet adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport type dlpi. The hme Ethernet adapter connects to a transport switch or to another Ethernet adapter on a different node. In either case, the connection is made through a transport cable. When a transport switch is used and the endpoints of the transport cable are configured using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are asked to specify a port name on the transport switch. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique for the switch. The default is to set the port name to the node ID hosting the adapter at the other end of the cable. There are no user configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type. SEE ALSO
