15.12 Setting the VirtMacAddr Attribute
The SetAttribute() method is used to set or change the value of a CNA attribute. The I/O identity
string attributes: (VirtMacAddr, VirtIscsiMacAddr, VirtFIPMacAddr, VirtWWN, and VirtWWPN) display a
unique behavior. After setting them to a non-default value, the attribute values are retained until
there is AC power supply. If the AC power supply is disconnected, the attributes revert to their default
values.
Invoke the SetAttribute() method with the following parameters and syntax:
Target: FQDD attained through DCIM_NICString
AttributeName: Attained from AttributeName field
AttributeValue: A new value to assign to the specified NICAttribute. If this value is valid, it is
applied to the PendingValue property or the Currentvalue property of the specified
NICAttribute. The range of acceptable strings is present in the MinLength and MaxLength
fields.
