HBA Storage Adapters - 2 WWNs

[timbo475]

Hi,

I've noticed in the 'Storage Adapters' section of Configuration tab for ESXi host that HBAs show 2 WWNs. The WWNs are identical apart from the first number - is this an internal/external thing (one for ESXi and the other the actual WWN of the HBA)?

Cheers,

Tim

NO, the value show is on the format WWNN:WWPN, see this link for more detail about the difference between WWNN and WWPN: Back To Basics – Configuring Storage: Fibre Channel (Part 1 of 6) | Mike Laverick...
