Our storage people do not understand what we need
I think it is more a problem of us not expressing ourselves correctly
 
We are using a Cisco 9513 (SAN fabric switch)
The storage has been configured and zoned - They can see our FCP port
from the SAN
It has been attached to our zlinux guest (Dedicate in directory)

We can vary it online
Then we have to add the WWPN to to device
We are not sure what WWPN to use
On the switch or on the SAN itself
And how do we get to the WWPN to display (In other words where do we
find it)
It seems there are different WWPN all over the place

Thank you

Hi Jan,

>How and where do we get that WWPN
>Our storage guys do not understand our question

Storage guys that do not know what wwpn's are? Get new storage guys ;-))

Seriously, to start with basics:
- is your switch a Fibre channel switch and not a Ficon-only one?
- do they have fibre ports on the Symmetrix set to FC protocol? (If they
don't know about wwpn's there is a fair chance they didn't)
- do you have Ficon port set to type FCP on your zSeries?

Best regards,
Pieter Harder
