This document will explains ways of determining a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA cards World-Wide Port Number (WWPN) in Solaris.

The term "HBA" or "hba" in this document will refer to a Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA).

If it is a new HBA the wwpn should be found on a sticker on the card and/or in packaging information. Otherwise, for HBAs installed in a server running Solaris see procedure below.

User needs to be logged in as root.

This procedure will only work for Oracle Branded HBAs and NON-Oracle Branded HBA using Oracle FC HBA Drivers (except fcinfo command).  NON-Oracle Branded HBAs using  NON-Oracle Branded HBA Drivers display hba port wwpn at boot in the /var/adm/messages.

See doc:
How to identify Oracle Fibre Channel (FC) HBA and CNA Cards and Their Slot Locations (Doc ID 1282491.1)

Oracle Branded Emulex & JNI FC HBAs will also display hba port wwpn at boot in the /var/adm/messages.
