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.

Configuring persistence policy settings using RACADM
To set persistence policy, use the following racadm object with the set sub command:
• For virtual addresses, use iDRAC.IOIDOpt.VirtualAddressPersistencePolicyAuxPwrd and
iDRAC.IOIDOpt.VirtualAddressPersistencePolicyNonAuxPwrd objects
• For initiator, use iDRAC.IOIDOPT.InitiatorPersistencePolicy object
• For storage targets, use iDRAC.IOIDOpt.StorageTargetPersistencePolicy object
For more information, see the iDRAC RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at
