Find WWN of the host bus adapter
Before physically attaching the storage system to hosts, some preparation work needs to be
performed. When configuring a fibre channel environment, first verify that the fibre adapters and
the fibre channel device drivers are installed on the open-system hosts. Next, find the World Wide
Name (WWN) of the host bus adapter that is used in each open-system host.
The WWN is a unique identifier for a host bus adapter in an open-system host, consisting of 16
hexadecimal digits. The following topics describe how to find the WWN of a host on different
operating systems. It is best to make a record of the WWNs of the hosts in your storage system,
because you will need to enter these WWNs in LUN Manager dialog boxes to specify the hosts
used in your storage system.

Finding a WWN on Windows
HP supports the Emulex fibre channel adapter in a Windows environment, and will support other
adapters in the future. For further information on fibre channel adapter support, or when using a
fibre channel adapter other than Emulex, contact HP Technical Support for instructions on finding
the WWN.
Before attempting to acquire the WWN of the Emulex adapter, confirm whether the driver installed
in the Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 environment is an Emulex port driver or an Emulex
mini-port driver, and then follow the driver instructions.
Procedure 17 To find a WWN on Windows environment with an Emulex mini-port driver
1. Verify that the fibre channel adapters and the fibre channel device drivers are installed.
2. Log on to the Windows 2000 host with administrator access.
3. Go to the LightPulse Utility to open the LightPulse Utility window. If you do not have a shortcut
to the utility:
1. Go to the Start menu, select Find and choose the Files and Folders option.
2. On the Find dialog box, in Named type lputilnt.exe, and from the Look in list, choose the
data drive that contains the Emulex mini-port driver.
3. Choose Find Now to search for the LightPulse utility.
If you still cannot find the LightPulse utility, contact Emulex technical support.
4. Select lputilnt.exe from the Find: Files named list, then press Enter.
