Users Guide

The values configured for virtual addresses, initiator and storage targets may change based on the way the main power is handled
during system reset and whether the NIC, CNA, or FC HBA device has auxiliary power. The persistence of IO identity settings can
be achieved based on the policy setting made using iDRAC.
Only if the I/O identity feature is enabled, the persistence policies take effect. Each time the system resets or powers on, the values
are persisted or cleared based on the policy settings.
NOTE: After the values are cleared, you cannot re-apply the values before running the configuration job.
