4. On the Ethernet Identities page, perform one of the following:
NOTE: If you do not want to include MAC addresses in the virtual I/O pool, clear the Include MAC addresses in this
pool option, and then click Next.
a. To specify the start address and the number of identities, perform the following:
1. In the Specify the start address box, type the start address that you want to predene in the MAC addresses that will
be generated.
NOTE: The input address range (start address + number of identities) is validated against the existing
address ranges for overlap when you are creating or editing a virtual I/O pool. The number of identities
requested cannot be guaranteed in case the requested address range is overlapping with an existing virtual
I/O pool address range.
2. In the Number of Identities box, type the identity values that you want to dene, and then click Next.
NOTE: For Converged Network Adapter (CNA) cards, WWNN and WWPN identities are derived from virtual
FIP MAC address. In these scenarios, though the identities are not generated from the Ethernet Identities
pool, these derived identities are counted against the Ethernet Identities pool. Ensure that necessary buer
is added while dening the Ethernet Identities pool size when virtual pool is used for deployment on servers
with CNA cards.
b. If you want to import the MAC addresses from a .csv le, click Import from le and perform the following:
NOTE: You can import up to 1000 identities using a .csv le. The .csv le must have a column titled Name or
Value.
1. Click Import.
2. On the Import Wizard, click Import.
3. Browse and select the .csv le and click Open. The Import Results window is displayed.
4. Close the Import Results window and the Import Wizard, and then click Next.

5. On the FCoE Node Name Identities page, perform one of the following:
NOTE: It is not necessary to have a virtual I/O pool with FC attributes for deploying on a Converged Network
Adapter (CNA) card because the FC attributes are automatically generated by OpenManage Essentials based on the
virtual FIP MAC address.
NOTE: If you do not want to include bre channel WWNN identities in the virtual I/O pool, clear the Include Fibre
Channel WWNN Identities in the pool option, and then click Next.
a. To specify the start address for the WWNN identities and the number of identities to be generated, perform the following:
1. In the Specify the start address box, type the start address that you want to predene in the WWNN identities that
will be generated.
NOTE: The input address range (start address + number of identities) is validated against the existing
address ranges for overlap when you are creating or editing a virtual I/O pool. The number of identities
requested cannot be guaranteed in case the requested address range is overlapping with an existing virtual
I/O pool address range.
2. In the Number of Identities box, type the identity values that you want to dene, and then click Next.
b. If you want to import the WWNN identities from a .csv le, click Import from le and perform the following:
