The storage administrator requires the WWPN for 10 servers that have not yet been deployed. The servers are in transit. Company policy is to use Virtual Identities on the SAN in case a server must
be replaced.
How can this requirement be met?
To meet the storage administrator's requirement for the WWPN (World Wide Port Name) for servers that are in transit, the best approach is to create a profile in advance for each server and assign it once the server is discovered. This method aligns with the use of Virtual Identities on the SAN, which allows for flexibility in case a server needs to be replaced.
Here's how this can be accomplished:
Create Virtual Identity Profiles: Before the servers arrive, create a Virtual Identity profile for each server within the management software that handles SAN configurations.
Assign WWPNs: Within each profile, assign a unique WWPN that will be used by the server's Fibre Channel ports when connecting to the SAN.
Deploy Servers: Once the servers are deployed and discovered by the management system, the pre-created profiles can be assigned to them.
Activate Profiles: Activating the profiles will apply the Virtual Identities, including the WWPNs, to the servers, allowing them to be identified on the SAN.
