Using the wwnrecover Utility
The
wwnrecover
utility permits a recovery of WWN card data in the event of corruption. Recovery is not possible if
hardware issues prevent access to either WWN card or if the primary and backup copy of the license ID on either card is
corrupted.
Identical data must be maintained on each WWN card at all times so that if one card fails, the system can use the other
card to provide valid system operation. To maintain data and ensure its integrity, the system audits both WWN cards one
hour after the first system boot-up, every 24 hours after boot-up, and any time a WWN card is inserted to compare the
critical data.
