Determining the WWNNs of a node using the CLI

You can determine the worldwide node names (WWNNs) of a node using the command-line interface (CLI).

Perform the following steps to determine the WWNNs of a node:

  1. Issue the lsnode CLI command to list the nodes in the clustered system.
  2. Record the name or ID of the node for which you want to determine the WWNNs.
  3. Issue the lsportfc CLI command and specify the node name or ID that was recorded in step 2.

    The following is an example of the CLI command you can issue:

    lsportfc -filtervalue node_id=2
    Where node_id=2 is the name of the node for which you want to determine the WWNNs. The following is the output from the command:
    id fc_io_port_id port_id type port_speed node_id node_name WWNN nportid status

    2 3 3 fc 8Gb 2 node2 5005076801105F82 010E00 active

    5 6 4 ethernet 10Gb 2 node2 5005076801605F82 E80326 active
  4. Record the six WWNNs (to assist with setting up other systems).
