4.3 Create an FC-defined Identity pool
An Identity Pool provides a collection of unique attribute values such as MAC Address, IP Address, WWPN,
WWNN, and so on for Ethernet, iSCSI, FC, and FCoE. The physical hardwired identities are replaced by user
defined initiator identities which help in keeping the data image of the LUN mobile and portable to another
identical server in case of failure.
OpenManage Enterprise allows the user to create an Identity pool with a range of identity attributes, which is then
automatically assigned to corresponding NIC and FC port according to the available network protocol and settings
during deployment.
The below mentioned steps need to be followed to create an FC-defined identity pool:
1. Go to the Identity Pools page by clicking Configuration > Identity Pool.
2. Click Create to activate the Create Identity Pool wizard.
3. On the Pool Information page, enter a unique Pool Name and Description (optional). Click Next.
