MAC address In the NT world it's called World Name

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.

Re: MAC address In the NT world it's called World Name

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.
