• Virtual MAC Address

• Virtual iSCSI MAC Address

• Virtual FIP MAC Address

• Virtual WWN

• Virtual WWPN

NOTE: When you clear the persistence policy, all the virtual addresses are reset to the default permanent address set at the

factory.

NOTE: Some cards with the virtual FIP, virtual WWN, and virtual WWPN MAC attributes, the virtual WWN and virtual WWPN

MAC attributes are automatically congured when you congure virtual FIP.

Using the IO Identity feature, you can:

• View and congure the virtual addresses for network and bre channel devices (for example, NIC, CNA, FC HBA).

• Congure the initiator (for iSCSI and FCoE) and storage target settings (for iSCSI, FCoE, and FC).

• Specify persistence or clearance of the congured values over a system AC power loss, cold, and warm system resets.

The values congured for virtual addresses, initiator and storage targets may change based on the way the main power is handled during

system reset and whether the NIC, CNA, or FC HBA device has auxiliary power. The persistence of IO identity settings can be achieved

based on the policy setting made using iDRAC.

Only if the I/O identity feature is enabled, the persistence policies take eect. Each time the system resets or powers on, the values are

persisted or cleared based on the policy settings.

NOTE

: After the values are cleared, you cannot re-apply the values before running the conguration

job.
