HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide: SGI IRIX (A5951-96075, December 2005)

The pport# and nodename parameters are used to indicate the worldwide name
(WWN) and the device port number (Fibre Channel disks have two por ts). The vh
and vol devices are in the rdsk directory only, because they are normally used only
for ioctl and raw access.
Fabric switch
When the fabric switch is used, the WWN information is displayed by the nsShow
command. The PortName (column 4) is the WWN, and the NodeName is the d evice
port number.
Example
switch:a dmi n> nsShow
