Rules and assumptions
Specific rules and assumptions can be found within each individual chapter. HP recommends using

Refer to one of the following HBA release notes:
• Release notes for HP StorageWorks Emulex host bus adapters for Windows
• Release notes for HP StorageWorks QLogic host bus adapters for Windows
Recording reference numbers
Each HBA ships with a unique address identifier that is stored in flash memory. Fibre Channel industry
standards issue two unique identifiers: world wide port name (WWPN) and world wide node name
(WWNN), each of which is derived from the HBA's IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and
WWNN create the world wide name (WWN), which is an 8-byte identifier that uniquely identifies
an HBA on an FC circuit. The WWN and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Enter the
information on the following lines for future reference.
WWPN address: __________________________________________________
Serial number: _________________________________________________
NOTE:
Record the reference numbers for all HBAs in your system.
