Virtual identity pools
In ASM, virtual identity pools provide a conceptual way to categorize the virtual identities that help in
network communication.
A virtual identity pool can include any combination of following virtual identities:
• MAC
• IQN
• WWPN
• WWNN
By default, virtual identities that are not assigned to any virtual identity pool are automatically assigned to
the Global pool.
After creating a virtual identity pool, you can assign the virtual identity pool to one or more templates. For
example, you might create a virtual identity pool to use for specific business units, such as Finance,
Human Resource, and for any specific application.
