You can configure the following persistence policies: • Virtual Address: Auxiliary powered devices • Virtual Address: Non-Auxiliary powered devices • Initiator • Storage target Before applying the persistence policy, make sure to: • Inventory the network hardware at least once, that is, enabled Collect System Inventory On Restart. • Enable I/O Identity Optimization. Events are logged to the Lifecycle Controller log when: • I/O Identity Optimization is enabled or disabled. • Persistence policy is changed. • Virtual address, initiator and target values are set based on the policy. A single log entry is logged for the configured devices and the values that are set for those devices when the policy is applied. Event actions are enabled for SNMP, email, or WS-eventing notifications. Logs are also included in the remote syslogs. Table 33. Default values for persistence policy Persistence Policy Virtual Address: Auxiliary Powered Devices Virtual Address: Non-Auxiliary Powered Devices Initiator Storage Target AC Power Loss Not selected Not selected Selected Selected Cold Boot Selected Not selected Selected Selected Warm Boot Selected Selected Selected Selected NOTE: When a persistent policy is disabled and when you perform the action to lose the virtual address, re-enabling the persistent policy does not retrieve the virtual address. You must set the virtual address again after you enable the persistent policy. NOTE: If there is a persistence policy in effect and the virtual addresses, initiator, or storage targets are set on a CNAdevice partition, do not reset or clear the values configured for virtual addresses, initiator, and storage targets before changing the VirtualizationMode or the personality of the partition. The action is performed automatically when you disable the persistence policy. You can also use a configuration job to explicitly set the virtual address attributes to 0s and the initiator and storage targets values as defined in iSCSI initiator and storage target default values.

In the iDRAC Web interface, go to Overview > Hardware > Network Devices. The Network Devices page is displayed. 2. Click I/O Identity Optimization tab. 3. In the Persistence Policy section, select one or more of the following for each persistence policy: • A/C Power Loss - The virtual address or target settings persist when AC power loss conditions occur. • Cold Boot - The virtual address or target settings persist when cold reset conditions occur. • Warm Boot - The virtual address or target settings persist when warm reset condition occurs. 4. Click Apply. The persistence policies are configured. Configuring persistence policy settings using RACADM To set persistence policy, use the following racadm object with the set sub command: Inventorying, monitoring, and configuring network devices 175
