World Wide Name

World Wide Name

A World Wide Name (WWN) or World Wide Identifier (WWID) is a unique identifier in a Fibre Channel or Serial Attached SCSI storage network. Each WWN is an 8-byte number derived from an IEEE OUI (for the first 3 bytes) and vendor-supplied information (for the rest).

There are two formats of WWN defined by the IEEE:
* Original format: addresses are assigned to manufacturers by the IEEE standards committee, and are built into the device at build time, similar to Ethernet MAC address. First 2 bytes are either hex 10:00 or 2x:xx (where the x's are vendor-specified) followed by the 3-byte vendor identifier and 3 bytes for a vendor-specified serial number
* New addressing schema: first half-byte is either hex 5 or 6 followed by a 3-byte vendor identifier and 4 bytes and a half for a vendor-specified serial number
