WWID type 9 not implemented

[Eric van Dijken]

While trying to install an Alpha DS15 (firmware 6.9) with dual FCA2384, connected with an EVA5000 (VCS 3.020). I get the following notice/error during "wwidmgr":

wwid type 9 not implemented

What does it mean and should i be worried?

This message is benign and can be ignored.

wwidmgr only supports disk devices. In the past it would silently ignore any other devices it could see on the SAN. Now (with 6.9) you get this message. I think "type 9" is a tape drive.
