EMC Storage Product Knowledge Sharing

Vendor Worldwide Names WWN :

Twenty-four of the sixty-four bit •World Wide Name• must be unique for every vendor. A partial listing of those vendors most familiar to EMC with regard to Symmetrix Fibre Channel connectivity.

If decoding a HBA WWN, then issue an 8f, command to view the WWN in the FA login table. Bytes 1-3 of the World Wide Names contain the unique vender codes. Note that if there is a switch connected between the FA and the host bus adapter, then the name and fabric servers of the switch will login to the FA. These WWNs can be decoded in the same way as the HBA WWNs.

In the following example the unique vendor code is 060B00, this indicates that the HBA attached was supplied by Hewlett Packard.
