6.5.3.1Obtaining the Worldwide Names of HSG80 Controller

The RA8000 or ESA12000 is assigned a worldwide name when the unit is manufactured. The worldwide name (and checksum) of the unit appears on a sticker placed above the controllers. The worldwide name ends in zero (0), for example, 5000-1FE1-0000-0D60. You can also use the SHOW THIS_CONTROLLER Array Controller Software (ACS) command.

For HSG80 controllers, the controller port IDs are derived from the RA8000/ESA12000 worldwide name as follows:

•In a subsystem with two controllers in transparent failover mode, the controller port IDs increment as follows:

–Controller A and controller B, port 1 — worldwide name + 1

–Controller A and controller B, port 2 — worldwide name + 2

For example, using the worldwide name of 5000-1FE1-0000-0D60, the following port IDs are automatically assigned and shared between the ports as a REPORTED PORT_ID on each port:

–Controller A and controller B, port 1 — 5000-1FE1-0000-0D61

–Controller A and controller B, port 2 — 5000-1FE1-0000-0D62

•In a configuration with dual-redundant controllers in multiple-bus failover mode, the controller port IDs increment as follows:

–Controller A port 1 — worldwide name + 1

–Controller A port 2 — worldwide name + 2

–Controller B port 1 — worldwide name + 3

–Controller B port 2 — worldwide name + 4

For example, using the worldwide name of 5000-1FE1-0000-0D60, the following port IDs are automatically assigned and shared between the ports as a REPORTED PORT_ID on each port:

–Controller A port 1 — 5000-1FE1-0000-0D61

–Controller A port 2 — 5000-1FE1-0000-0D62
