F.4 Determining the Worldwide Name for Microsoft Windows Servers

Before you can create host filters, you need to know the worldwide name (WWN) for the FC HBA that connects your host to your FC array.

1.

Boot a specific host system and note the BIOS version and HBA card models

 

connected to your host.

 

 

 

 

2.

Access the HBA card’s BIOS with the appropriate command (alt-qor control-a

 

are commonly used).

 

 

 

 

 

If the host has multiple HBA cards, select the card that is connected to the storage.

3.

Scan the card to look for devices attached to it (usually with the Scan Fibre Devices or

 

the Fibre Disk Utility).

 

 

 

 

 

The node name (or similar label) is the WWN. The following example shows the node

 

name for a Qlogic card.
