Create host system — Define host WWPN

Use this page to specify the host port world-wide port names (WWPNs) for open systems hosts.

Introduction

The number of host port WWPN pages reflects the number of host port identifiers that are generated from the Create host system — Define host ports page.

This page appears only if you selected any open systems host.

Fields

WWPNs for host attachment [Identifier]: Port selections or WWPNs for each host port that is included in the identifier. Each of the defined ports (the number in the parentheses) has a box. For example, if the identifier is Fred|Rs6K|FcAl(4), there are 4 text entries. If there are more ports to define for this identifier than fit on this page, a subsequent page for this identifier enables you to continue with the WWPN definition for this identifier. WWPNs are 16 digits long.; Enter the speed for the port number shown in gigabytes per second. The speed specified is used on the Specify Connection panel when the View Recommended option is selected. Recommendations are made for I/O ports with the best match for host port speed.
