faPwwn 2 NOTES A single port can be assigned up to two WWNs, one assigned automatically and one assigned by the user. Only one FA-PWWN can be active at any given time. The user-assigned FA-PWWN takes precedence over the automatically assigned FA-PWWN. This means, the switch will bind the user-assigned FA-PWWN to the port if both a user-assigned and an automatically assigned FA-PWWN are available. FA-PWWN configurations are saved persistently and are preserved even if the feature is disabled on a port, or if you move the port to a different logical switch. The same configuration will be reapplied on the port once the feature is enabled or the port is moved back to the switch where you initially created and saved the configuration. When issued for switch ports, the --show option displays the following information: Port Port number PPWNN Real PWWN of the device VPWNN Currently active FA-PWWN. The following information is displayed for Access Gateway ports: AG Port Access Gateway node WWN followed by a slash and port number Port The FC switch port number Device Port WWN The real device port WWN displays only if the device is logged into the Access Gateway. Virtual Port WWN The FA-PWWN (user-assigned or automatically assigned) created on the FC switch for the Access Gateway port. The following information is displayed for both AG and FC switch ports: PID Port ID. Enable Displays "yes" if the configuration is enabled; displays "No" if the configuration is disabled. MapType Displays the type of mapping: Access Gateway (AG) or switch port (port), user-assigned (user) or automatically assigned (auto). This command is supported only on the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-4, DCX 8510-8,and the and Brocade 6510. Regarding Access Gateway support, you cannot configure FA-PWWN on the Brocade 300, and 5100 when these switches are in Access Gateway mode. The AG port must be configured on the switch to which the AG is connected. However, both AG switches are FA-PWWN-aware, which means that they can connect to switches with configured FA-PWWN ports. Refer to the Brocade Adapters Administrator's Guide for list of supported Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and configuration procedures. Refer to the Release Notes for other restrictions that may apply. You cannot enable the FA-PWWN feature if portSwap is enabled on the ports. The operands, --assign, --delete, --enable, and --disable can be executed only on a disabled port (switch ports and AG ports). You must re-enable the ports to come online with the new configuration.
