Determining the Worldwide Name for Linux
Hosts

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-Q or Control-A are

commonly used).
If the host has multiple HBA cards, select the card that is connected to the array.

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.

Refer to the SANnet II Family RAID Firmware User’s Guide for more information
about creating host filters.
