Thanks Bakunin, for that brilliant explanation, I wished I could be so clear...
I want to point out the very last paragraph is crucial! as more than 75% of the issues I encounter are related to that paragraph, usually when migrating disk bays or servers in a hurry ( time frame to respect...) you go to the vital first to get thing working fast and when the pressure drop remember that you havent finished.. to finalise you need those both WWPNs to be effective, only if you are unlucky you have an issue before and chances you find yourself in this very same situation... In other words when doing this sort of operations be sure you have check with the SAN team that all is configured and correct before lets say, reboot after a patching, or moving the VM, it sounds silly but often you having your schedules and issues, are not always aware of what the other team may have done meanwhile that may have a side effects...

ntfsfix
NTFSFIX(8) System Manager's Manual NTFSFIX(8)
NAME
ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS
SYNOPSIS
ntfsfix [options] device
DESCRIPTION
ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental
NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows.
You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by Windows or some other way and it cannot be mounted.
OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsfix accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by -
and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.
-fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.
-b, --clear-bad-sectors
Clear the list of bad sectors. This is useful after cloning an old disk with bad sectors to a new disk.
-h, --help
Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.
-n, --do-nothing
Do not write anything, just show what would have been done.
-V, --version
Show the version number, copyright and license
