• There are errors such as overlap in identity values with an existing pool. • Syntax errors while entering the MAC, IQN, or network addresses. Each identity pool provides information about the state of each identity in the pool. The states could be: • Assigned • Reserved 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 Managing identity pools 55

There are errors such as overlap in identity values with an existing pool.
•
Syntax errors while entering the MAC, IQN, or network addresses.
Each identity pool provides information about the state of each identity in the pool. The states could be:
•
Assigned
•
Reserved
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—
<IQN
Prefix>.<number>
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
