Virtual Connect server profiles 177
Advanced Profile Settings
MAC addresses for the domain are provided by Virtual Connect. You can override this setting and use the
MAC addresses that were assigned to the hardware during manufacture by selecting the Use Server Factory
Defaults for Ethernet MAC addresses checkbox. This action applies to every Ethernet connection in the
profile. For additional information, see "MAC Address Settings (on page 174)."
WWNs for the domain are provided by Virtual Connect. You can override this setting and use the WWNs
that were assigned to the hardware during manufacture by selecting the Use Server Factory Defaults for Fibre
Channel WWNs checkbox. This action applies to every Fibre Channel connection in the profile. For
additional information, see "WWN settings (on page 177)."
Serial numbers for the domain are provided by Virtual Connect. You can override this setting and use the
serial numbers that were assigned to the hardware during manufacture by selecting the User Server Factory
Defaults for Serial Numbers checkbox. This action applies to this profile. For additional information, see
"Serial Number Settings ("Serial Number Settings screen" on page 176)."
WWN settings
Each server blade FC HBA mezzanine card ships with factory default port and node WWNs for each FC
HBA port. Each WWN is a 64-bit number that uniquely identifies the FC HBA port/node to other devices on
the network. While the hardware ships with default WWNs, Virtual Connect has the ability to assign WWNs
that override the factory default WWNs while the server remains in that Virtual Connect enclosure. When
configured to assign WWNs, Virtual Connect securely manages the WWNs by accessing the physical FC
HBA through the enclosure Onboard Administrator and the iLO interfaces on the individual server blades.
When assigning WWNs to FC HBA ports, Virtual Connect assigns both a port WWN and a node WWN.
Because the port WWN is typically used for configuring fabric zoning, it is the WWN displayed throughout
