Need to determine the WWN for FCoE Initiator

I want to connect a LUN directly to my W2K8 VM. I installed the FCoE software initiator but how do I zone a LUN to it if I can't determine the WWN?

I'm in the same boat - the FCoE target requires that we put in the WWN of the initiator - i.e. it's looking for a specific host, not just any host connecting to it.

Hello

The WWN should be 28 00 XX XX XX XX XX XX, where XX is our source MAC or 10 00 XX XX XX XX XX XX, where XX is our source MAC.

I hope it helped.
