Info for LAN and HBA

Hi,

I need to retrieve some information regards the lan and hba.

The info requested are:

- Redundancy Type (for lan and hba, for example 'load balancing')
- The unique worldwide id for hba (WWNN o WWPN?)

Thanks for all answer.

Hi,

from "lanscan" you can get MAC address of lan interfaces

"fcmsutil /dev/td#" will provide you hba WWNN and WWPN

Re: Info for LAN and HBA

Hi,

Thanks for your answers.

I already have the mac address and wwpn and wwnn, I don't know if the worldwide unique id for hba is the wwnn or wwpn.

I already used the fcmsutil but I don't found the hba protection (for example load balancing).

Thanks,

Stefano

I'm not sure about this "unique worldwide id", but a fabric switch will use WWPN normally.

The load balance between hba's normally is done by software, depends on what you have installed. We use EMC Clariion CX700 with EMC Powerpath installed on our HPUX servers. Powerpath does load balance automatically.

Thanks to all I verify if I have the software for manage load balancing.
