2 wwnAddress wwnAddress Synopsis Binds an FC Port ID to a device WWN. wwnaddress --bind [WWN] [PID] wwnaddress --unbind [WWN] wwnaddress --show wwnaddress --findPID [WWN] wwnaddress --help Description Use this command to manage address assignments for a given device world wide name. The allocation of a PID to a specified device WWN supports the persistence of the PID based on the WWN of the device to which the PID is bound. If the PID is not bound to a device WWN, the device can get the same or a different PID irrespective of which port it logs in to a given switch partition. This command fails under any of the following conditions: • The PID is currently bound to another port through port address binding. Use portaddress --unbind to free up the PID. • The WWN is already bound with a different PID, or the PID is bound to another WWN. Use wwnaddress --unbind to remove the PID-WWN binding. • There is no space left in the WWN-PID table for an additional entry. Use wwnaddress --unbind to free up space in the table. The command provides a --show option that displays the currently bound address for all WWNs. Alternately, you can use the --findPID option to display the PID currently bound to a specified WWN. Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Operands This command has the following operands: --bind WWN PID Assigns the lower two bytes of the Fibre Channel address to the specified WWN. Specifies the WWN for the device to which the PID should be assigned. Specifies the PID (the lower 16 bits of the address excluding the domain part) in hexadecimal format to be bound to the device WWN. Note that only the upper 10 bits of the PID can be used for a unique route. Therefore, not all addresses in the 16-bit range are available. --unbind WWN Removes the WWN-PID binding corresponding to the specified device WWN. Specifies the WWN for the device from which to remove the PID binding. --show Displays all WWN-PID entries currently present in the partition. --findPID Displays the PID currently bound to the specified device WWN. WWN Specifies the device WWN. --help Displays the command usage. 918 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001337-01
