How to check the WWN of your fiber device

In this document, well briefly discuss how to fetch the WWN number, which is like the MAC address for
network interface device or serial number for a physical server, of your Emulex and QLogic fiber device.

Emulex:
We assume that you are using Red Hat operating system, in which the following commands can be used:
# more /sys/class/fc_host/host*/node_name
0x2000001b3209b4xx (output should be different based on your own device)
# more /sys/class/fc_host/host*/port_name
0x2100001b3209b4xx (output should be different based on your own device)
The * here means the device number which could be a nature number starting from 0
WWN number includes port WWN and node WWN. The complete WWN should be the node_name + port_name.
In the case above, it should be 2000001b3209b4xx2100001b3209b4xx

QLogic:
We will talk about how to check the QLogic device WWN on different platforms. Some of them might not be
useful to NSN current messaging solutions.
1. AIX
a. To get the fiber device name of this AIX host
# lsdev Cc adapter S a | grep Adapter
fcs0
Available 09-08 FC Adapter
fcs1
Available 09-09 FC Adapter
The output shows that there are 2 fiber adapter connected to this host, fcs0 and fcs1.
b. To check the WWN of this device
# lscfg -vpl fcs0

WWN has been marked as red as above.
2. HP Unix
a. To get the fiber device name of this HP host
# ioscan -fnC fc

From the output above we can see that 2 fiber device is connected to the host, fcd0 and fcd1
b. To check the WWN of this device
# fcmsutil /dev/fcd0

From the output above, we can see the WWN of this fiber device marked as red. Beside that, the device
WWN of fiber switch port can also be seen as marked blue.
3. Solaris
a. Check the current storage device and fiber device including their WWN
# luxadm probe
b. Check the ports of HBA and their properties as well
# luxadm -e port

c.

/devices/pci@0,0/pci1022,7450@2/pci1077,101@1/fp@0,0:devctl
NOT CONNECTED
/devices/pci@0,0/pci1022,7450@2/pci1077,101@1,1/fp@0,0:devctl
CONNECTED
From the output above, we can see that only one fiber card connected to the storage device.
Chose the connected fiber device and check its WWN:
#luxadm

4. Redhat
In Redhat, all the device management related information is stored in kernel, under /proc. And HBA cardrelated information is store under the directory /proc/scsi/wla2300/, under which, different device corresponds
to different file name. Eg:
# grep scsi /proc/scsi/qla2300/1
Number of reqs in pending_q= 0, retry_q= 0, done_q= 0, scsi_retry_q=
0
scsi-qla0-adapter-node=200000e08b9cf6xx;
scsi-qla0-adapter-port=210000e08b9cf6xx;
All the outputs above are just examples which are 99.999% percent of chances NOT the same as yours.
