Adding virtual MAC identities
1. On the Virtual MAC page of the Create Virtual Identity Pool wizard, in the Number of Virtual MAC Identities boxes, type the
total number of virtual MAC identities that you want to add (any whole number between 1 and 1,024).
2. From the MAC Address Prex list, type the MAC address prex to be added to the starting of the MAC addresses.
3. Select Auto Generate Identities if needed during deployments check box to automatically generate the Virtual MAC address
during the deployment, if necessary.
Adding virtual IQN identities
You can add from 1 to 1024 virtual WWPN identities at one time. The maximum number of virtual WWPN identities that ASM can
manage is 16,000.
1. On the Virtual IQN page of the Create Virtual Identity Pool wizard, in the Number of Virtual iSCSI Identities boxes type the
total number of virtual IQN identities that you want to add (any whole number between 1 and 1,024).
2. In the IQN Prex box, type the IQN prex that to be added at the starting of the IQN.
Examples of possible prexes include product types, serial numbers, host identiers, and software keys.
NOTE: The IQN prex cannot exceed 213 characters, must contain only alphanumeric characters (uppercase and
lowercase), and the following special characters: – _, ,: .
3. Select Auto Generate Identities if needed during deployments check box to automatically generate the Virtual IQN addresses
during the deployment, if necessary.
Adding virtual WWPN identities
You can add from 1 to 1024 virtual WWPN identities at one time. The maximum number of virtual WWPN identities that ASM can
manage is 16,000.
1. On the Virtual WWPN page of the Create Virtual Identity Pool wizard, in the Number of Virtual WWPN Identities boxes, type
the total number of virtual WWPN identities that you want to add (any whole number between 1 and 1,024).
2. From WWPN Prex drop-down list, select the WWPN prex to be added to the starting of the WWPN.
3. Select Auto Generate Identities if needed during deployments check box to automatically generate the Virtual WWPN
addresses during the deployment, if necessary.
Adding virtual WWNN identities
You can add from 1 to 1024 virtual WWNN identities at one time. The maximum number of virtual WWNN identities that ASM can
manage is 16,000.
1. On the Virtual WWNN page of the Create Virtual Identity Pool wizard, in Number of Virtual WWNN Identities type the total
number of virtual WWNN identities that you want to add (any whole number between 1 and 1,024).
2. From the WWNN Prex drop-down list, select the WWNN prex to be added to the starting of the WWNN.
3. Select Auto Generate Identities if needed during deployments check box if you want to automatically generate the Virtual
WWNN addresses during the deployment.
Deleting virtual identity pools
NOTE: You cannot delete a Global virtual identity pool, and you cannot delete the virtual identity pools that are currently
associated with a template or if the virtual identity pools contain identities in an Assigned or Reserved state.
1. On the home page, click Settings, and then click Virtual Identity Pools.
2. On the Virtual Identity Pools page, select the check boxes next to the virtual identity pools that you want to delete, and then
