Adapter port WWN virtualization
Adapter port world wide name (WWN) virtualization enables the adapter port to use a
switch-assigned WWN rather than the physical port WWN for communication, allowing you to
preprovision the server with the following configuration tasks:
• Create the zones with the Fabric Assigned WWN (FAWWN) before the servers and devices are
connected to the switches, before they are exposed to the SAN network.
• Create LUN mapping and LUN masking without the devices present in the network.
• Preconfigure boot LUN zoning. You can configure Solaris ports or Linux ports on the switch,
enabling the server to boot automatically with the predefined boot LUNs.
NOTE
Fabric Assigned WWN (FAWWN) is not supported for base switches or FICON-enabled switches.
