Locating the WWPN for an HP-UX host

To attach your DS8000® to a Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) server that is running the HP-UX operating system, you must locate the worldwide port name (WWPN) for the host.

Procedure

To locate the WWPN, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to the root directory of your HP-UX host.
  2. Enter ioscan -fnC fc| more for information about the Fibre Channel adapters that are installed on the host.
    The following example shows the output of the ioscan command:
    
    fc 0 0/2/0/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter /dev/td0
    fc 1 0/4/0/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter /dev/td1
    fc 2 0/6/2/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter /dev/td2 
    
  3. Look under the description for the Fibre Channel Mass Storage adapter.

    For example, look for the device path name /dev/td1.

  4. Enter fcmsutil /dev/td1 | grep World where /dev/td1 is the path.
    The following example shows the output of the fcmsutil:
    (root@hpmain)/home/root# fcmsutil /dev/td1 | grep World
                N_Port Node World Wide Name = 0x50060b000024b139
                N_Port Port World Wide Name = 0x50060b000024b138
    (root@hpmain)/home/root# fcmsutil /dev/td0 | grep World
                N_Port Node World Wide Name = 0x50060b000023a521
                N_Port Port World Wide Name = 0x50060b000023a520
    (root@hpmain)/home/root# fcmsutil /dev/td2 | grep World
                N_Port Node World Wide Name = 0x50060b0000253a8f
                N_Port Port World Wide Name = 0x50060b0000253a8e
    (root@hpmain)/home/root#
