vIO Control
MAC Addresses and WWN (World Wide Name)s of I/O ports and serial number and UUID of CPU
blade can be virtualized by using vIO Control. This is a part of Boot Control feature. Using this,
there is no need to reconfigure the settings of the network or storage devices after replacing blades
or I/O cards.
NOTES:

The vIO Control is not available on 120Bb-6, 120Bb-m6, 120Bb-d6,
140Ba-10, and B140a-T.

The option cards (I/O cards) available for the vIO Control are as

vIO Control in the NEC SigmaSystemCenter managing system
Using vIO Control in the system managed by NEC SigmaSystemCenter makes it possible to
reducing downtime and management cost by automizing N+1 failover, applying, releasing or
changing boot configurations appropriately depending on the work load of each blade in the system.
For detailed information, please contact your service representative.
