Boot from SAN: WWPN or WWNN ?

Hi,

I'm trying to nail some FC concepts, coming from networking side...

 

I think I have the right concept on WWNN and WWPN, although I don't know the details, both

are sent on FLOGI and PLOGI, and they could be used to differentiate a path in the topology

to a common node (WWNN) via different ports.

 

And here is what I don't get. If this is the case, why is that I always see a WWPN used as a SAN target

instead of the (more useful, highly available ?) WWNN ?

 

Learning,

-Carlos
