N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) allows a single FCP port to appear as
multiple, distinct ports providing separate port identification. NPIV
is supported by FC HBAs on System z9. zfcp was adapted to support this
new feature.

Debug features (DBFs) els_dbf, cmd_dbf and abt_dbf were removed and
san_dbf, hba_dbf and scsi_dbf were introduced. The erp_dbf did not
change.
The new traces improve debugging of problems with zfcp, scsi-stack,
multipath and hardware in the SAN. san_dbf traces things like ELS and
CT commands, hba_dbf saves HBA specific information of requests, and
scsi_dbf saves FCP and SCSI specific information of requests. Common
to all new DBFs is that they provide a so called structured view. This
significantly improves readability of the traces.
