Displaying the WWNN of a storage unit

Complete this task to display a list of worldwide node names (WWNNs) of the storage unit in a storage complex.

Before you begin, ensure that you have met the following conditions:
  • The remote mirror and copy license key is installed and enabled to allow operations to be performed.
  • The fibre-channel I/O ports are configured.

To participate in a fibre channel environment, each storage unit is assigned a unique 16-hexadecimal ID called a WWNN that identifies the storage unit. You must use the WWNN of the storage unit as part of the lsavailpprcport and mkpprcpath commands.

Perform the following steps to display the WWNN of the storage unit in a storage complex. The example commands in this task are shown in two formats. The first format shows the type of information that the command requires. The second format provides the command with declared values for the variables.

  1. Issue the lssi command to display the list of WWNNs. Enter the lssi command at the dscli command prompt as follows:
    dscli>lssi -l 
  2. Review the output that displays the WWNN of the storage unit. This information is required when you establish a path.
