To SANCP, the term "WWID", unless otherwise qualified, refers to
the system's view of the set of all paths to a single port on a
SAN storage device without regard to which drivers provide the
paths. When a WWID is modified with the SET command, all paths
are affected
More generally, WWIDs are World-Wide unique Identifiers which are
assigned to a FibreChannel port by its device's manufacturer. Each
port will have a Node WWID and a Port WWID - since the Node WWID
can be used to group Port WWIDs on the same device, only the Port
WWID is guaranteed to be unique within a Fabric
1 – WWID Formats
A WWID passed to SANCP can be in any of the formats in which WWIDs
are commonly displayed, so the output of any of the following
commands can be easily cut & pasted into a SANCP command line:
SDA> FC SHOW STDT
WWID format 50001FE1000180b1
SDA> FC SHOW WTID
WWID format 5000.1FE1.0001.80A0
$ SHOW DEVICE $1$DGA3420 /MULTI
WWID format PGC0.5000-1FE1-0011-B15C
The port specification in the SHOW DEVICE format will be ignored
2 – WWID Wildcards
A WWID term is a sequence of hex digits delimited by a period, a
dash or the beginning or end of the string
"%" can be used any number of times, up to the legal length of a
term, to wildcard a single hex digit
"*" can be used once within a term to wildcard 0 to N hex digits,
but sequences of "*" will be collapsed to a single use and count as 1
Legal wildcard uses:
50*1000180b1
*.*FE1.%%01.80A%
PGC0.5%%0-1*1-0011-B15*
Illegal wildcard uses:
50*001*080b1 - too many multi-char wildcards
5000.%%%%%.0001.80A0 - too many single-char wildcards
