Set the Library Fibre Channel Port Address

If the control path for the library is Fibre Channel, you must enable the Library's Fibre
Channel Port (port A). The Fibre Channel Port A address locates the library's Port A on
the Fibre Channel loop.

2. Select Properties > General.
The screen displays detailed information about the library.
Note – The screen includes the library's world wide ID (the node ID) and the Port A
world wide name ID (the port ID). These two IDs are set at the factory and cannot be
changed. Each ID is 64 bits and uses the IEEE registered format.
