Concepts

FC HBA

Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapters(HBA) are interface cards that connects the host system to a fibre channel network or devices.

WWN, WWNN, WWPN !?

A World Wide Name (WWN) or World Wide Identifier (WWID) is a unique identifier used in storage technologies including Fibre Channel, Parallel ATA, Serial ATA, NVM Express, SCSI and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS).

A World Wide Node Name, WWNN, or WWnN, is a World Wide Name assigned to a node (an endpoint, a device) in a Fibre Channel fabric. It is valid for the same WWNN to be seen on many different ports (different addresses) on the network, identifying the ports as multiple network interfaces of a single network node. A WWNN can have multiple WWPNs.

World Wide Port Name, WWPN, or WWpN, is a World Wide Name assigned to a port in a Fibre Channel fabric. Used on storage area networks, it performs a function equivalent to the MAC address in Ethernet protocol, as it is supposed to be a unique identifier in the network.
