Adapter Details Field Definitions

  • Node WWN - a 64-bit worldwide unique identifier assigned to the node.

  • Node Symbolic Name - in a fabric, the name registered with the name server.

  • Description - a formal description of the HBA, including model number, bus type and link speed.

  • Driver Name - an executable file image name for the driver as it appears in the Emulex driver download package.

  • Driver Version - the driver version number and the HBA application programming interface (HBA API) version number.

  • Hardware Version - the board version number, represented by the JEDEC ID, which is machine-readable from the Emulex ASIC.

  • Boot Bios Version - the optional read-only memory version number; displayed if the BootBIOS bootup message is enabled on the HBA.

  • Boot Bios Message - the enabled/disabled status of the BootBIOS message on the HBA. This message is updated automatically if the status of the BootBIOS message changes (caused by downloading a different firmware image). Possible messages are Not Present, Disabled, or the FCode firmware version.  

  • Serial Number - the serial number assigned to the HBA when it was manufactured. Typically, this is a BCD string of the 48-bit IEEE address for the HBA.

  • Ports - the number of ports on the HBA. Currently, this is always one. The two ports of dual-channel HBAs are displayed in the discovery tree as two HBAs.

  • Device ID - the HBA's default device ID.

  • IEEE Address - the Media Access Control (MAC) address is in conformance with the Fibre Channel Link Encapsulation (FC-LE) standard. This address is a 48-bit number that is unique to every HBA in existence. The IEEE Address is printed on a label affixed to one end of the HBA.
