Creating WWN exclusion ranges

VCEM requires that you define exclusion ranges for both MAC and WWN address ranges that are in use
by VC Domains outside VCEM management. Exclusion ranges are used to set aside addresses that might
be in use for other purposes within your data center. Excluded address ranges are not assigned for use by
VCEM.
1. From the VCEM home page, under the Administration heading, click the World Wide Names hyperlink.
2. From the Select ranges to configure list, select WWN.
