Recording reference numbers

Each HBA ships with a unique address identifier that is stored in flash memory. Fibre Channel industry standards issue two unique identifiers: world wide port name (WWPN) and world wide node name (WWNN), each of which is derived from the HBA's IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and WWNN create the world wide name (WWN), which is an 8-byte identifier that uniquely identifies an HBA on an FC circuit.

The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record the addresses on the lines below for future reference.

In addition, each HBA has a unique serial number that is located on the bottom of the HBA. Check the HBA and record its serial number below so that you have the number in the unlikely event that the NVRAM is corrupted.

	NOTE: The WWN is a permanent identifier that cannot be changed.
