Configuring Persistence Policy Settings Using iDRAC Web Interface
To configure 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 configured.
Configuring 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.
