o For partition 3: AttributeName=VirtIscsiMacAddr

AttributeValue=$VirtIscsiMacAddr_value

o For partition 4: AttributeName=VirtFIPMacAddr

AttributeValue=$VirtFIPMacAddr_value

AttributeName=VirtWWN AttributeValue=$VirtWWN_value

AttributeName=VirtWWPN AttributeValue=$VirtWWPN_value

 CreateNICConfigJob() for

o Partition 1

o Partition 3

o Partition 4

o Then Reboot
