GenerateWwpn method of the Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService class
Generates a set of World Wide Port Names (WWPNs). The WWPNs are generated from within the pre-configured range defined by the MinimumWWPNAddress and MaximumWWPNAddress properties of the Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementServiceSettingData class. If the valid number of WWPNs that can be generated is less than the requested number, then the remaining entries in the GeneratedWwpn array will have the invalid entry of "0000000000000000" and the return value will indicate success (0).
