A little bit about NAS, a little bit about SAN This is it yet another storage blog.

Fabric can be explained as a number of switching elements
RecoverPoint (5)
connected together. As I mentioned in part 1 Fabric can be
EMC VNX (36)
just one switch, or bunch of interconnected switches
NetApp (22)
(domains). One Fibre Channel Switch = one Fabric Domain.

device. For servers and hosts, WWNN is unique for each September 2016
HBA (host bus adapter), and in a case of a server with two June 2016
HBAs, they have two WWNNs. For a SAN switch, the February 2016
WWNN is a common for the chassis. For storage, the January 2016
WWNN is common for each controller unit of midrage December 2015
storage. In case of high-end enterprise storage, the November 2015
WWNN is unique for the entire array. September 2015
August 2015
A worldwide port number (WWPN) is unique identifier for April 2015
each FC port of any Fibre Channel device. For server, we March 2015
have a WWPN for each port of the HBA. For a SAN switch, February 2015
the WWPN is available for each port in the chassis. For January 2015
