Users Guide

• Persistence policy is changed.
• Virtual address, initiator and target values are set based on the policy. A single log entry is logged for the congured devices and the
values that are set for those devices when the policy is applied.
Event actions are enabled for SNMP, email, or WS-eventing notications. Logs are also included in the remote syslogs.
Table 34. Default values for persistence policy

NOTE: When a persistent policy is disabled and when you perform the action to lose the virtual address, re-enabling the
persistent policy does not retrieve the virtual address. You must set the virtual address again after you enable the persistent
policy.
NOTE: If there is a persistence policy in eect and the virtual addresses, initiator, or storage targets are set on a CNA-device
partition, do not reset or clear the values congured for virtual addresses, initiator, and storage targets before changing the
VirtualizationMode or the personality of the partition. The action is performed automatically when you disable the persistence
policy. You can also use a conguration job to explicitly set the virtual address attributes to 0s and the initiator and storage
targets values as dened in iSCSI initiator and storage target default values.

Conguring persistence policy settings using iDRAC web interface
To congure the persistence policy:
1 In the iDRAC Web interface, go to Overview > Hardware > Network Devices.
The Network Devices page is displayed.
2 Click I/O Identity Optimization tab.
3 In the Persistence Policy section, select one or more of the following for each persistence policy:
• A/C Power Loss - The virtual address or target settings persist when AC power loss conditions occur.
• Cold Boot - The virtual address or target settings persist when cold reset conditions occur.
• Warm Boot - The virtual address or target settings persist when warm reset condition occurs.
4 Click Apply.
The persistence policies are congured.
Conguring persistence policy settings using RACADM
To set persistence policy, use the following racadm object with the set sub command:
• For virtual addresses, use iDRAC.IOIDOpt.VirtualAddressPersistencePolicyAuxPwrd and
iDRAC.IOIDOpt.VirtualAddressPersistencePolicyNonAuxPwrd objects
• For initiator, use iDRAC.IOIDOPT.InitiatorPersistencePolicy object
• For storage targets, use iDRAC.IOIDOpt.StorageTargetPersistencePolicy object
