If the identity is assigned, the information about the assigned server and NIC Identifier is displayed. If the identity is reserved, the information about the assigned slot in the chassis is displayed. You can create an identity pool with only the name and description and configure the details later. NOTE: You can clear identities by disabling the I/O Identity Optimization option in iDRAC. To create identity pools: 1. Click Configuration > Identity Pools. The Identity Pools page is displayed with the list of available identity pools and their key attributes. 2. Click Create. The Create Identity Pool wizard is displayed. 3. Enter a name and description for the identity pool and click Next. The Ethernet tab is displayed. 4. Select Include Ethernet virtual MAC Addresses to enter the Starting MAC Address, select the Number of Virtual MAC Identities you want, and click Next. The MAC addresses can be in the following formats: ● AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF ● AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF ● AA.BB.CC.DD.EE.FF You can choose to create the identity pools from iSCSI, FCoE, or FC. The iSCSI tab is displayed. 5. Select the Include iSCSI MAC Addresses to enter the Starting MAC Address and select the Number of iSCSI MAC addresses or IQN addresses you want. 6. Select the Configure iSCSI Initiator to enter the IQN Prefix. The pool of IQN addresses is generated automatically by appending the generated number to the prefix in the format-. 7. Select the Enable iSCSI Initiator IP Pool to enter the IP Address Range, Gateway, Primary DNS Server, Secondary DNS Server, and select the Subnet Mask. The iSCSI Initiator IP settings are used only when the iSCSI is configured for booting, and when the iSCSI Initiator configuration through DHCP is disabled. When iSCSI Initiator configuration through DHCP is enabled, all these values are obtained from a designated DHCP server. The IP Address Range and Subnet Mask fields are used to specify a pool of IP addresses that OME-Modular can assign to a device. The device can use the IP in the iSCSI Initiator configuration. Unlike the MAC address pools, a count is not specified for the IP Address Range. The pool of IP addresses can also be used to generate the initiator IP. OME-Modular supports the IPv4 format of IP addresses range in the following formats: ● A.B.C.D - W.X.Y.Z ● A.B.C.D-E, A.B.C. ● A.B.C.D/E-This format is a Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation for IPv4. A maximum of 64,000 IP addresses is allowed for a pool. OME-Modular uses the Gateway, Primary DNS, and Secondary DNS server values while deploying a template instead of using the values in the template.OME-Modular does not assign the Gateway, Primary DNS, and Secondary DNS server values from the IP address pool, if the values are within the specified IP address range. The Gateway, Primary DNS, and Secondary DNS server values serve as exclusions from the specified IP Address Range, when applicable. 8. You can select the Include FCoE Identity to enter the Starting MAC Address and select the number of Number of FCoE Identities you want. The WWPN/WWNN values are generated from the MAC address. The WWPN address is prefixed with 0x2001 while the WWNN address is prefixed with 0x2000. This format is based on an algorithm similar to FlexAddresses. 9. Select the Include FC Identity to enter the Postfix (6 octets) and select the Number of WWPN/WWNN Addresses. 70 Managing identity pools

You can clear identities by disabling the
I/O Identity Optimization
option in iDRAC.

A.B.C.D/E
—This format is a Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation for IPv4.
A maximum of 64,000 IP addresses is allowed for a pool.
