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. Editing identity pools You can modify the number of entries in the identity pool. However, you cannot reduce the size of the identities that are already assigned or reserved. For example, in a pool of 100 MAC addresses, if 94 of the addresses are assigned or reserved, you cannot reduce the number of MAC addresses to less than 94. To edit an identity pool: 1. On the Identity Pools page, select the identity pool and click Edit. 64 Managing identity pools

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:

Click

Configuration

Identity Pools

The

Identity Pools

page is displayed with the list of available identity pools and their key attributes.

Click

Create

The

Create Identity Pool

wizard is displayed.

Enter a name and description for the identity pool and click

The

Ethernet

tab is displayed.

Select

Include Ethernet virtual MAC Addresses

to enter the

Starting MAC Address

, select the

Number of Virtual MAC

Identities

you want, and click

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.

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.

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—

<IQN

Prefix>.<number>

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.

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.

Select the

Include FC Identity

to enter the

Postfix (6 octets)

and select the

Number of WWPN/WWNN Addresses

Editing identity pools

You can modify the number of entries in the identity pool. However, you cannot reduce the size of the identities that are already assigned

or reserved. For example, in a pool of 100 MAC addresses, if 94 of the addresses are assigned or reserved, you cannot reduce the number

of MAC addresses to less than 94.

To edit an identity pool:
