WWN

World wide name. A unique identifier for an open systems host. It is typically a
node name that is a 64-bit address assigned to HBAs (host bus adapters) or
storage system ports that define the endpoints of a Fibre Channel connection
between storage and hosts for purposes of volume input/output.
WWN is essential for defining the SANtinel™ parameters because it determines
whether the open systems host is to be allowed or denied access to a specified
logical unit or a group of logical units.

WWN nickname

identifies which HBA to operate on. The WWN nickname easily identifies

WWN nicknames to confirm target HBAs for a host while you edit LUN paths
during or after volume allocation or when you replace an HBA.
