zfcp_ping - send a FPNG request to a remote SAN port

zfcp_ping  is  primarily  used  to  verify  the  existence and availability of a node port. The node port
       doesn't need to be attached to the local environment because  the  request  is  not  sent  by  the  local
       adapter.   This  task  is  deferred to the management server of the storage area network, therefore it is
       possible to receive an answer from the designated target without being able to  locally  connect  to  the
       node port.  A reason for this could be zoning (local adapter and destination are not joining a zone).

       zfcp_ping -t97 0x50050763030b0562
              Send  a  FPNG  request  to  the  port with the WWPN 0x50050763030b0562 and use the token 97 as the
              initial value.
