The offline utility prompts you to enter new data:

WWPN word 0

WWPN word 1

WWNN word 0

WWNN word 1

The following example writes the WWPN and WWNN for adapter #1.

oslpcfg writewwn n=1

Enter or Scan value for WWPN word 0 now

Enter a value.

10000000

The system echoes what you entered, followed by the next prompt:

10000000

Enter or Scan value for WWPN word 1 now

Saving WWN data to a file (savewwn)

This command reads the original words 0 and 1 of the IEEE address, installed by

manufacturing, from configuration regions 16 (or 32) of the adapter (specified by its

number) and saves the configuration region information in the selected WWN file.
To save the WWN data to a file, type

oslpcfg savewwn n=<adapter number> c=<wwn filename>

The following example reads the configuration region information on adapter #4 and

saves it to the contents of the ctwwn.sav file:

oslpcfg savewwn n=4 c=ctwwn.sav

Restoring WWN and Updating NVPARMS (restorewwn)

This command restores words 0 and 1 of the IEEE address from a specified file created

with the savewwn command and uses them to update the NVPARMS port name with

this IEEE address.
To restore the WWN, type

oslpcfg restorewwn n=<adapter number> c=<wwn filename>

The following example updates the NVPARMS on adapter #4 with the ctwwn.sav file.

oslpcfg restorewwn n=4 c=ctwwn.sav

Restoring NVPARMS (restorenvwwn)

This command restores the non-volatile WWPN and WWNN to the adapter, replacing

any volatile WWPN and WWNN data, without powering off the adapter.
If the adapter does not have firmware that supports the volatile WWN, the following

error message appears:

Write Volatile Parms Error. Reported Error 48
