Because the WWNN and WWPN in the virtio-scsi configuration must be used when creating the NPIV virtual HBA in the host, you do not want two hosts to use the same WWNN and WWPN. That would be the same as using the same MAC address on two machines. The switch from primary to secondary or vice versa then happens on migration. This is the same scheme used by Hyper-V. (BTW, I need to move the normative "MUST"s into the normative section so I need to send out v2).
