Notes:
1. Configure these host mode options only when requested to do so.
2. Set the UUID when you set host mode option 33 and host mode 05 OpenVMS is used.
3. Host mode options 49, 50, 51, and 65 are enabled only for the 8UFC/16UFC package.
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.
