Locating the WWPNs for a host running a VMware operating system

You can locate the worldwide port names (WWPNs) for a host running a VMware operating system.

Perform the following steps to locate the WWPNs for the host:
  1. Open the VMware Management Interface and click the Options tab.
  2. Select Storage Management.
  3. In the new window, click the Adapter bindings tab. The WWPN will then be listed at the end of each port heading line, which are the lines starting with vmhba. For example, in the following line, 21:00:00:E0:8B:1A:E4:C6 is the WWPN of the HBA port:
    vmhba0: QLogic Corp QLA231x/2340 (rev 02) (21:00:00:E0:8B:1A:E4:C6)
