Worldwide name: This is a unique identifier in a Fibre Channel storage network. Each WWN is a fixed
64-bit name assigned by the manufacturer and registered with the IEEE to ensure it is globally unique.
It can include only characters from A to F, a to f, digits from 0 to 9 and a : character. You can find it in
the manual of your HBA card, Bios, or directly on the label of your HBA card. An example of a WWN:
1A:FF:AC:4D:00:1F:99:F3.
HBA

referring to devices for connecting Fibre Channel.
