3. Do one of the following:

Check Auto-generate world wide port name. The OneCommand Manager
application creates the unique WWPN for the new virtual port based on the
WWPN of the physical port. This option allows you to automatically create up
to 255 unique virtual ports for each physical port. It also has the advantage that
the new WWPN is unique.
Note: After auto-generating 255 unique virtual ports, you cannot
auto-generate any more virtual ports even if you delete existing
auto-generated ports. However, you can still enter your own WWPN to
create a virtual port.

Check Use the following world-wide port name and enter a unique WWPN
you want to use. You can create as many virtual ports as you want. A valid port
name must have one of the following formats:
10:00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
2x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
3x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
5x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
where x is a hexadecimal value
