Configuring Persistence Policy Settings

Using IO identity, you can configure policies specifying the system reset and power cycle behaviors that determine the persistence or clearance of the virtual address, initiator, and storage target settings. Each individual persistence policy attribute applies to all ports and partitions of all applicable devices in the system. The device behavior changes between auxillary powered devices and non-auxillary powered devices.

You can configure the following persistence policies:

•Virtual Address: Auxiliary powered devices

•Virtual Address: Non-Auxiliary powered devices

•Initiator

•Storage target

Before applying the persistence policy, make sure to:

•Inventory the network hardware at least once, that is, enabled Collect System Inventory On Restart.

•Enable I/O Identity Optimization.

Events are logged to the Lifecycle Controller log when:

•I/O Identity Optimization is enabled or disabled.

•Persistence policy is changed.

•Virtual address, initiator and target values are set based on the policy. A single log entry is logged for the configured devices and the values that are set for those devices when the policy is applied.

Event actions are enabled for SNMP, email, or WS-eventing notifications. Logs are also included in the remote syslogs.
