NPIV I've seen mentioned as a not supported feature on 3PAR, at least in a SAN attached config, not seen it mentioned differently in direct.
Without having anything to back me up, that sounds wierd. Persistent Port uses NPIV to "logically" failover a physical port on the 3PAR to the partner port.
And when using FlexFabric with a SAN fabric, all it does is NPIV. Not sure what(if any) it does different in FlatSAN mode.
It would also indicate that Hyper-V virtual FC adapters are not support with direct attached servers.
