Fibre Channel (FC) ports are identified by their physical port number and by a worldwide
port name (WWPN).
The physical port numbers identify Fibre Channel adapters and cable connections when you
run service tasks. Worldwide port names (WWPNs), which uniquely identify the devices on the SAN, are
used for tasks such as Fibre Channel switch configuration. The WWPNs are derived from the worldwide
node name (WWNN) of the node in which the ports are installed.
All
system nodes can support an optional 4-port Fibre Channel
host interface adapter.
Summary of WWPN values for the system lists the WWPN values for each port when 4-port Fibre
Channel
host interface adapters are
installed in a
control enclosure.
