WWPN Pool

A WWPN Pool provides ranges of World Wide Port Names (WWPNs) that Intersight assigns to vHBA interfaces on SAN Connectivity Policies. Each vHBA requires a unique WWPN for Fibre Channel identity within the fabric. Separate pools are typically defined per fabric (A and B) to keep the address spaces distinct.

Examples

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

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        pools:
          wwpn:
            - name: wwpn-pool-a
              wwpn_blocks:
                - from: "20:00:00:25:B5:A0:00:00"
                  size: 1000

              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod
            - name: wwpn-pool-b

                  size: 500
                - from: "20:00:00:25:B5:B0:10:00"
