4.24 IO Identity for QLogic (12G only)

This workflow sets IO Identity, which are the following: virtual Mac address, virtual iSCSI Mac

address, virtual FIP Mac address, virtual WWN, and virtual WWPN. This workflow is for Qlogic

cards only.

This script has been tested on Qlogic Mezz card, slot 2 with the following setting. Different

cards or different slots require modifications to the script.

 $nic=NIC.Mezzanine.2B-1-1

 $nic2=NIC.Mezzanine.2B-1-2

 $nic3=NIC.Mezzanine.2B-1-3

 $nic4=NIC.Mezzanine.2B-1-4

 $nicAttributeName=Slot2

The script is an example for set IO identity for the following card setting:

 Partition 1: NIC

 Partition 3: iSCSI

 Partition 4: FCoE

Applies to: LC2+

Prerequisites for script:

 QLogic card

 Set desired script variables by editing script

Script: IO_IdentityQlogic.win

A) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before executing

any other WSMAN commands.

GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus():

B) Check NIC is enabled

1. GetBIOSEnumerations(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration class to collect

information about the system.

2. Ensure AttributeName of $nicAttributeName is enabled

If not enabled, enable it as shown below

 SetBIOSAttributes()

AttributeName=$nicAttributeName AttributeValue=Enabled

AttributeName=BootMode AttributeValue=Bios

 CreateBIOSConfigJob()

 ScheduledStartTime=TIME_NOW RebootJobType=1

 Poll job status for Completed.
