Hi,

I'm running RH ES with a QLogic QLA2300. I can cat the /proc/scsi/qla2300/0 file and it will give you lots of info on the card, including the WWN. If you have multiple cards you should have a /proc/scsi/qla2300/1, ..qla2300/2, etc. for each card.

I'm guessing your system will have a /proc/scsi/qla2312 directory with an instance for each card.

During system start-up, press CTRL-Q and enter Qlogic bios menu. Select your adapter, Select Host Adapter Settings, Adapter Port Name...

Re: WWN on Fibre Channel Adapters

All, Just an FYI. According to Qlogic, the 2312 model numbered cards ARE model2340 cards, there a cosmetic difference in the way they report in the BIOS which is fixed in more recent BIOS versions. Bear that in mind when looking for system information about that card; e.g., it may still build proc info in proc/scsi/qla2300 or qla2340.
