How to determine WWID?

Jonathan Luchette — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 09:21:44 GMT

Does anybody know of a way that I can determine the WWID of my HBAs from within Windows. We run Server 2003 and Server 2000. We have mostly BL35p blades.

I think the BL35p uses QLogic-based adapters - in that case, install the SANsurfer suite from HP's web pages.

I just tried this, and I do have QLogic HBA's in there, but when I went to install it, it told me that it wouldn't install because it did not detect the proper hardware? Do you have I tried to install CP005079.exe? Is this the right one?
Thanks!

Yes, that's what I have installed, although I used FCA2214DC PCI adapters, not blades.

If you cannot find the wwn id from within Windows you can always get it from checking the switchports.
