Adapter port world wide name (WWN) virtualization enables the adapter port to use a

switch-assigned WWN rather than the physical port WWN for communication, allowing you to

pre-provision the server with the following configuration tasks:

Fabric Assigned WWN (FAWWN) is not supported for base switches or FICON-enabled switches.

The Configure Fabric Assigned WWNs dialog box enables you to perform the following tasks:

Instructions for performing the Fabric Assigned WWN configuration tasks are detailed in the

following sections.

Create the zones with the Fabric Assigned WWN before the servers and devices are connected

to the switches, before they are exposed to the SAN network.

Create LUN mapping and LUN masking without the devices present in the network.

Pre-configure boot LUN zoning. You can configure Solaris ports or Linux ports on the switch,

enabling the server to boot automatically with the pre-defined boot LUNs.

Configure Fabric Assigned WWNs dialog box

Enable and disable the Fabric Assigned WWN feature status on a switch or AG port.

Set the type value to auto or user-defined. When the User button is selected, the WWN is
