WWNN Pool

A WWNN Pool provides ranges of World Wide Node Names (WWNNs) that Intersight assigns to server adapters via a SAN Connectivity Policy. Each server adapter requires a unique WWNN as its Fibre Channel node identity. A single WWNN pool typically covers the entire environment rather than being split per fabric.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates a WWNN pool with a single address block using the Cisco OUI-based FC range.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        pools:
          wwnn:
            - name: wwnn-pool
              description: WWNN pool for all servers
              wwnn_blocks:
                - from: "20:00:00:25:B5:00:00:00"
                  size: 1000
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod
