Prerequisites
Use PCIe Gen 2 compliant systems that are x8 or x16 lane at up to 5 GT/s per lane.
HBA Identification
Each HBA ships with several numbers clearly marked on the board. Emulex
recommends recording these numbers before installation.
Serial number – assigned by Emulex and used when communicating with
Emulex.
IEEE address – a unique 64-bit identifier used for system configuration
World Wide Name (WWN) – derived from the IEEE address, the FC industry
uses the WWN for FC connectivity.
Note: If the adapter has two ports, it has two IEEE addresses and two WWNs; one
for each port with the second IEEE address/WWN being the next successive
number of the first.
