8. Enter the host’s WWN in hexadecimal format. Multiple WWNs can be entered as a
comma-separated list. For example:
hostPortWWNs=00-01-C9,00-01-C8

Solaris Machines Appear to Have Extra QLogic HBAs
Solaris machines using Fibre Channel drives internally will always appear to have extra QLogic
HBAs. After discovering a Solaris machine, internal fiber channel drives will show an extra QLogic
adapter on the host adapters page.
No Stitching for Brocade Switches with Firmware 3.2.0
Stitching does not appear for hosts attached to Brocade switches running firmware 3.2.0. There is
no stitching when the PID format is 0. The port setting must be the same for all Brocade switches in
the fabric, or the fabric will become segmented. The PID format should be set to 1 for all Brocade
switches running firmware later than 2.6.0 and 3.0. The PID=0 setting is a legacy Port ID format that
does not support the numbers of ports beyond 16.
Link Between a Brocade Switch and a Host Disappears from the Topology
If a link that used to work between a Brocade switch and a host disappears from the topology, you
may need to rediscover the Brocade switch and the host. Also, confirm that both are online and
there are no network connection issues. As a last resort, you may need to reboot the switch. In some
instances, the API of the Brocade switch has been known to hang. Rebooting the switch clears the
switch of the API hang.
Incorrect Topology Sometimes Displayed for CNT Switches
The CNT SMI-S provider for CNT switches does not return the correct topology information when
more than one fabric is managed by the same InVSN™ Storage Network Manager. McDATA,
which completed its acquisition of CNT in the summer of 2005, has been made aware of this issue.
Unable to See Path Information
You will not be able to see path information if LUN masking information is missing. To view LUN
masking information, follow the steps described in the section, ” Accessing Information About Host
Security Groups ” on page 556.
Device Locking Mechanism for Brocade Element Manager
Query/Reconfiguration
Please keep in mind that the configuration for Brocade switches is locked while getting all details for
elements in a zones. The software ensures that each CIM query locks out any reconfiguration. For
example, if you are getting details for elements in all zones, you cannot add a new Brocade switch
while you are doing it (the discovery or configuration process waits until the collection of details is
finished before proceeding). However, simultaneous CIM queries do not lock each other out.
