4. Enable the FA-PWWN on the HBA. The following steps are to be executed on the server and not
the switch.
a. Log in to the server as root.
b. Enter the following command:
bcu port -faa port_id --enable
c. Enter the following command:
bcu port -faa port_id --query
Once the Brocade HBA has been assigned the FA-PWWN, the HBA retains the FA-PWWN until it is
rebooted. This means you cannot unplug and plug the cable into a different port on the switch. You
must reboot the HBA before moving the HBA to a different port. If you move an HBA to a different
port on a switch running Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later, the HBA will disable its port. If the HBA moves to
a different port on a switch running a version of Fabric OS earlier than 7.0.0, the HBA will continue
to disable its port.
