To Install the HBA
Each HBA is shipped with several numbers clearly marked on the board. These numbers
indicate the following:
■
IEEE Address
■
World Wide Name (WWN)
■
Serial number
The IEEE address is a unique 64-bit identifier that you use when configuring your system.
The FC industry uses the World Wide Name (WWN) derived from the IEEE address for FC
connectivity. If the adapter has two ports, there are two IEEE addresses and two WWNs. Use
the serial number when communicating with Oracle Service.
