These are very useful trick’s in order to obtain a list of WWN’s associated with the blades in a UCS environment. Instead of trawling through the GUI you can easily connect to UCS via the Cisco UCS PowerTool or SSH to the Fabric Interconnect and quickly retrieve the WWN information for each/All Host/blade’s in UCS.

UCS PowerTool
You can download the latest version of Cisco UCS PowerTool from:
UCS PowerTool Download

Firstly launch the UCS PowerTool and Connect to the UCS system by issuing the cmd:
PS C:\> Connect-Ucs
Enter your fabric interconnect IP address hitting the return key and then inputting your creds.

Once you have connected enter the following cmd to bring up a list of all the blades (service profiles) and their associated vHBA WWN’s:
PS C:\> Get-UcsServiceProfile -type instance | Get-UcsVhba | Select Dn,Addr,NodeAddr

If you want to reduce the list to only WWPN‘s, then use the following:
PS C:\> Get-UcsServiceProfile -type instance | Get-UcsVhba | Select Dn,Addr

Filter by “vHBA-0”:
Get-UcsServiceProfile -type instance |Get-UcsVhba | select DN,Name,Addr| where {$_.Name -eq “vHBA-0”} | sort DN

Filter by “vHBA-1”:
Get-UcsServiceProfile -type instance |Get-UcsVhba | select DN,Name,Addr| where {$_.Name -eq “vHBA-1”} | sort DN

In order to display the associated VSAN details:
PS C:\> Get-UcsServiceProfile -type instance | Get-UcsVhba | Get-UcsVhbaInterface | select Dn,Initiator,Vnet

Get all service profile instances in UCS:
PS C:\> Get-UcsServiceProfile –Type instance

List Boot Policy assigned to each blade:
C:\> Get-UcsServiceProfile -type instance | select Name,BootPolicyName

Fabric Interconnect CLI
Another option is to connect directly to the fabric interconnect. Using the cmd “fi01-A# show server adapter identity” will return a detailed list all of the UCS blades WWN details:

For a brief list of all WWN’s assigned to each host use this simple cmd:
sh identity wwn

• To list an individual server WWPN details:
fiA-31-A# scope chassis 1
fiA-31-A /chassis # scope server 1
fiA-31-A /chassis/server # scope adapter 1
fiA-31-A /chassis/server/adapter # show host-fc-if

FC Interface:
Id Wwn Model Name Operability
———- ———————– ———- ———- ———–
1 20:00:00:25:B5:25:A0:6F UCSB-MLOM-40G-01
vHBA-0 Operable
2 20:00:00:25:B5:25:B1:6F UCSB-MLOM-40G-01
vHBA-1 Operable

• From the scope server is is also possible to learn the DN(Distinguished Name):
fiA-31-A /chassis/server # show server adapter vnics
FC Interface:

1 2 org-root/ls-xap-esx001/fc-vHBA-1 20:00:00:25:B5:25:B1:6F Fc

• Check which vHBA is assigned to fabric A/B:
fiA-31-A# scope service-profile server 1/1
fiA-31-A /org/service-profile # show vhba

vHBA:

———- ——— ————
vHBA-0 A 20:00:00:25:B5:25:A0:6F
vHBA-1 B 20:00:00:25:B5:25:B1:6F

• Get a full List of all WWPN’s based on Fabric A/B:
fiA-31-A# scope org
fiA-31-A /org # show wwn-pool

WWN Pool:

Global-WWNN-Pool Node WWN Assignment 128 9

• List all Fabric-A WWPN and DN information:
fiA-31-A# scope org
fiA-31-A /org # scope wwn-pool vHBA-0-Fabric-A
fiA-31-A /org/wwn-pool # show initiator
