Hi All,
Thanks Dr. Hannes Reinecke.
After read some docs, I found out this information about the WWID:
- Its origin is the VPD Pages;
- It's a NAA (Network Address Authority) identifier;
- As a NAA identifier it is unique because its format is:
3 + 6(from NAA 6) + IEEE Company_id + Vendor Specific Identifier +
Vendor Specific Identifier Extension
+ == concatenated
Please, if it is not correct tell me.
Thanks and Regards,
Nascimento
