Of the preceding FC/FCoE attributes related to boot-from-SAN, the only ones assigned by OME, for
automatic identity assignment, are the VirtWWN, VirtWWPN, and VirtFIPMacAddr attributes (highlighted
above). A value for the VirtWWN attribute is obtained using the “FCoE Node Name Identities” definition
specified for the Virtual IO Pool, a value for the VirtWWPN attribute is obtained using the “FCoE Port Name
Identities” definition specified for the Virtual IO Pool, and a value for the VirtFIPMacAddr attribute is
obtained using the “Ethernet Identities” definition given for the Virtual IO Pool.
