WWN and MAC address, which is selected for LPAR manager, is used although
PCI device dedication/common is specified in LP mode.

WWN is always used. The Optional Physical WWN of Fibre Channel mezzanine
card in the active partition is set the Fibre Channel mezzanine card in the
standby partition, and then SAN connection is continued while switching the N
+M cold standby. For the N+M cold standby, the software function (Persistent
Binding or something) that depend on WWN is continued to use because of
not changing WWN after switching the N+M cold standby.
For MAC address, you can select to use the Default Physical MAC address or
the Optional Physical MAC address. When selecting the Default Physical MAC
address, the MAC address value cannot be continued while switching the N+M
cold standby. When selecting the Optional Physical MAC address, the MAC
address value can be continued while switching the N+M cold standby.
Therefore, the OS setting that depend on MAC address is continued to
operate because of not changing MAC address after switching the N+M cold
standby.
