Configuring an FA-PWWN for an HBA connected to an Access
Gateway

To configure an FA-PWWN, assign the FA-PWWN on the Access Gateway switch. The FA-PWWN
feature is enabled by default on the HBA. Refer to the Brocade Adapters Administrator’s Guide for a list
of supported HBAs.

1. Log in to the edge switch to which the Access Gateway is directly connected.
2. Assign the FA-PWWN.

• If you are manually assigning a WWN, enter the following command:

fapwwn --assign -ag AG_WWN -port AG_port -v Virtual_PWWN

• If you want the WWN to be automatically assigned, enter the following command:

fapwwn --assign -ag AG_WWN -port AG_port

3. Display the FA-PWWN.

fapwwn --show -ag all

You should see output similar to the following sample. The FA-PWWNs are in the Virtual Port WWN
column. (In this example, long lines of output are shown split across two lines, for better readability.)

4. Display the FA-PWWN on the HBA.

The following steps are to be executed on the server and not the switch.

Enter the following command to display the FA-PWWN.

# bcu port --faa_query port_id

FAA state: Enabled

PWWN: 11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88

PWWN source: Fabric

The HBA retains the FA-PWWN until rebooted. This means you cannot unplug and plug the
cable into a different port on the Access Gateway. You must reboot the HBA before moving
the HBA to a different port.

If you move an HBA to a different port on a switch running Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later, the
HBA will disable its port. The port remains disabled even if you then move the HBA to a port
on a switch running a version of Fabric OS earlier than 7.0.0.
