Users Guide

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
For more information, see the iDRAC RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/esmmanuals.
iSCSI initiator and storage target default values
The following tables provide the list of default values for iSCSI initiator and storage targets when the persistence policies are cleared.
