    hi guys,

    on my vmware esxi 5 i have on fiber card with 2 ports

    when i go to to configuration->host adapters on the host i have 4 wwwPn

    why i have 4? i don't think that it is the physical wwwpn because if it is i would have only 2 wwwpn as i have just 2 ports on the fiber card

    can somebody clarify it for me please?

    if it is wwwNN it shouldn't be the same for both of the port?

    Depends on the card implementation.  Not always.
