Adapter Identification
Each adapter has several identification numbers. Emulex recommends recording these
numbers before installation.
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) address – a unique 64-bit
identifier used for system configuration
WWN – derived from the IEEE address; the FC industry uses the WWN for FC
connectivity.
Serial number – assigned by Emulex and used when communicating with
Emulex
If the adapter has two ports, it has two IEEE addresses and two WWNs, one for each
port.
