Before freeing an address, verify that the address is no longer used by a VC Domain outside of VCEM. To reclaim WWN addresses: 1.

of VCEM and will not be used by VCEM.
To change the status of an address from External to Free, use the Reclaim External button. Before freeing an
address, verify that the address is no longer used by a VC Domain outside of VCEM.
