What command to use to find out the equivilant to a MAC address to Fiber cards that are attached to a disk array. I know you can use lanscan for standard Ethernet NIC's. I also know you can have Fiber cards used as NICS/HOSTADAPTERS but if the Fiber Cards are attached to disk how do I get this info. withl out taking the card out and looking at it.

Try fddi commands: fddistat, fddipciadmin.

are you looking for the World Wide Name of the Fibre Channel cards?
If so then use the fcmsutil command to check this:

a) Use ioscan -Fknd fcT1_cntl (or ioscan -fnk | grep fcms) to get the device
files of the installed adapters. (usually known as /dev/fcms0 or 1 etc.)

b) Use fcmsutil /dev/fcmsX (where is is a number) and see the driver state.
for example:
fcmsutil /dev/fcms0

Local N_Port_ID is = 0x000001
N_Port Node World Wide Name = 0x10000060B0C07C01
N_Port Port World Wide Name = 0x10000060B0C07C01

Thanks for the information. The fcmsutil is just what I was looking for.

Thanks,
