[fc] Record the Worldwide Names (WWNs) of the Fibre Channel ports on the controller of the existing storage system. You can find this in
the SMU under Physical. Then click Enclosure 1 → Rear Graphical and click the Fibre Channel ports, as shown in Figure 3. The WWN
[fc] Record Fibre Channel WWN IDs, Names (nicknames), and profile settings of the Fibre Channel HBAs you will be using to connect to
the storage system, if any. The WWN IDs/Names are listed under the Host ID property in the SMU. You can find this from the SMU by
expanding Hosts from the Configuration View frame. (See Figure 4).
[fc] Record Fibre Channel link speeds and topology settings. You can find this from the SMU by selecting Configuration →System
Settings → Host Interfaces. (See Figure 5).
[i] Record the IP addresses of the controller iSCSI ports. You can find this from the SMU by selecting Configuration → System Settings

Note
IQN names will no longer be applicable if you upgrade to the Fibre Channel or SAS protocol controller. The IQN host IDs and names will be
applicable if you choose to upgrade to the iSCSI protocol controller and to use the iSCSI targets of the new controller. Similarly, recording
Fibre Channel and SAS WWNs, nicknames, and speeds are only valid if you are moving to an MSA 1040 two-port 8Gb Fibre Channel, MSA
1040 two-port SAS, MSA 2040/2042 SAN (Fibre Channel or mixed Fibre Channel/iSCSI), or an MSA 2040/2042 SAS.
