Applying I/O Identity configuration settings for multiple network cards

in single host system reboot

If you have multiple network cards in a server that is part of a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment and you want to apply

different virtual addresses, initiator and target configuration settings to those cards, use the I/O Identity Optimization feature to

reduce the time in configuring the settings. To do this:

1. Make sure that BIOS, iDRAC, and the network cards are updated to the latest firmware version.

2. Enable IO Identity Optimization.

3. Export the XML configuration file from iDRAC.

4. Edit the I/O Identity optimization settings in the XML file.

5. Import the XML configuration file to iDRAC.
