The WWN of the requesting N port and the assigned FC ID are retained and stored in a volatile cache. The contents of this volatile cache are not saved across reboots.
  • Page 97 In this case, the solution is to manually configure an entry in the persistency table for the WWN of the HBA as shown in the following example.
