3.2 Configuring the Qlogic HBA
3.2.1 Acquiring HBA WWPNs (World Wide Port Names)
Each HBA has a unique WWPN by which it is identified in a SAN network. Accurate tracking of
WWPNs ensures that each server has the proper storage presented to the appropriate location. The
recording of the WWPN information is only required once for ESM to perform zoning for the SAN. If
this has already been performed, skip to Section
3.2.2.
To acquire these WWPNs:
• Restart the target blade server being configured for remote boot and enter the QLogic BIOS utility
using CTRL+Q. This must be done at a specific time during the POST. Note: you must click the
“sticky” Ctrl icon on the Remote Control page when using the Management Module for this task,
and then you’ll only need to press “Q” on the keyboard.
• One at a time, select each HBA listed and record the WWPNs
