WWPN Pools
A WWPN pool is a WWN pool that contains only WW port names. If you include a pool of WWPNs in a
service profile, the port on each vHBA of the associated server is assigned a WWPN from that pool.

Creating a WWNN Pool
A WWN pool can include only WWNNs or WWPNs in the ranges from 20:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 to
20:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF or from 50:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 to 5F:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. All other
WWN ranges are reserved. To ensure the uniqueness of the Cisco UCS WWNNs and WWPNs in the SAN
fabric, we recommend that you use the following WWN prefix for all blocks in a pool:
20:00:00:25:B5:XX:XX:XX
