How to determine appliance HBA WWPNs

You must use physical port ID or World Wide Port Name (WWPN) when you specify the HBA ports on NetBackup appliances.

To determine the WWPNs, use the Main_Menu > Manage > FibreChannel > Show command in the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu. The command output provides the information about ports based on the slot number.

For complete information about the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu, see the NetBackup Appliance Commands Reference Guide.
