16 Deployment and Migration of Boot from SAN Configuration using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version
3.3.1
With the completion of reserve identities, all the iSCSI supported NIC ports are intended to be auto assigned
with virtual iSCSI MAC address, IQN and IP address. User can manually enter the first and second storage
target array details.
6. On the Schedule page, select the option Run Now to run the deployment job immediately or select a
convenient date and time to schedule the deployment.
Note: After the completion of deployment job, the physical identities of the target server/s such as iSCSI MAC
address, IP address, IQNs are replaced by the reserved virtual identities from the Identity pool.
The benefit of the virtual Identities is to ensure that the LUN on which the Operating systems are installed is
not physically attached or ‘tied’ to a target server. In case of failure, these virtual Identities can be moved to
another identical server with a minimal impact on operations.
