How to find world-wide name (WWN) of a fibre-channel card in Windows

In windows i don't see any inbuilt tool to find the WWN of the HBA card associated with a server.

I Did a series of search and found some tools associated with card manufacturers like Qlogic(SANsurfer utility) and Emulux(HBAnyware utility). But consider the case if none of the tools are installed on your server?
i continued my search and finally i got "fcinfo" for windows. it is pretty good tool and gives much information related to your HBA and other stuff.
fcinfo for windows can be downloaded from following  link:-

The installation of this package is too simple. download the package which suits to your server and double click on it.

accept the License agreement and click install to continue



Wait till the installation completes,



Click finish when it prompts.
To Run fcinfo, just go to command line and type the following
c:\fcinfo

you will get the WWN details of the attached FC cards.
and if you type fcinfo /? it will give you the supported options list(help).










it is not necessary to install fcinfo on server. just copy fcinfo and other  associated files(fcinfo.exe, hbaapi.dll and hbatapi.dll) from any fcinfo installed server and put those files together in a folder and you can run fcinfo without trouble.

Hope this help!!
