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.
