4. Enable the FA-PWWN on the HBA. The following steps are to be executed on the server and not
the switch.
a. Log in to the server as root.
b. Enter the following command:
bcu port -faa port_id --enable
c. Enter the following command:
bcu port -faa port_id --query
Once the Brocade HBA has been assigned the FA-PWWN, the HBA retains the FA-PWWN until
rebooted. This means you cannot unplug and plug the cable to a different port on the AG. You must
reboot the HBA before moving the HBA to a different port. If you move an HBA to a different port on
a switch running Fabric OS 7.0.0 or later, the HBA will disable its port. If HBA moves to a different
port on a switch running a version of Fabric OS earlier than 7.0.0, the HBA will continue to disable
its port.
Configuring an FA-PWWN for an HBA connected to an edge switch
For this procedure, some of the steps are to be executed on the switch and some are to be
executed on the server.
1. Log in to the edge switch to which the device is connected.
2. Assign the FA-PWWN.
• If you are manually assigning a WWN, enter the following:
fapwwn --assign -port [slot/]port -v Virtual_PWWN
• If you want the WWN to be automatically assigned, enter the following:
fapwwn --assign -port [slot/]port
3. Enter the following command:
fapwwn --show -port all
You should see output similar to the following sample.
