Virtual Connect server profiles 204

Column name

Description

on the Serial Number Settings screen (on page

176

)

Server UID

The server UUID generated by Virtual Connect and assigned to this profile

Ethernet Adapter Connections

Port

Relative order of the Ethernet port on the server receiving the profile. System

board NICs are first in the order, followed by NICs on mezzanine cards. See
"iSCSI and FCoE port assignments (on page

169

)" and "Bandwidth

assignment (on page

171

)."

Network Name

Unassigned, name of the network, or "Multiple Networks" associated with

this port.

Status

Displays the current linked status of the selected port

Port Speed Type

The requested operational speed for the server port. Valid values include

"Auto", "Preferred", "Custom", and "Disabled". The default value is

"Preferred".
Auto—The maximum port speed is determined by the maximum configured

speed for the network.

Preferred—The speed of the network is the same as the preferred speed of the
network to which the connection is associated. If no preferred speed is

configured for a network, it behaves like "Auto".

Custom—You can configure any speed from 100Mb to the maximum

configured speed for the network in 100-Mb increments.*
For all speed types the maximum port speed is determined by the maximum

configured speed for the network. If the speed type is "Auto," VCM

determines the appropriate port speed based on the available bandwidth for
the port. The configured port speed behaves like Auto (default). If the speed

type is "Disabled," bandwidth is not allocated. You can only set the minimum

port speed here. The maximum is set in the port link speed.

Allocated Port Speed

Allocated bandwidth of the port. See "Bandwidth assignment (on page

171

)."

PXE

Enables or disables PXE on the network connection. Valid values are

"enabled", "disabled", and "UseBios". If this value is not specified, the
default is "UseBios".

Only one connection can have PXE enabled per profile.

Multicast Filter

Shows the name of the multicast filter or filter set that has been selected for the

connection

MAC

As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware MAC for mapped connections appears.

For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to appear. If the

profile is assigned, the MAC address assigned to the port appears. If the

profile is unassigned and the domain is set to show factory default MAC
addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears. If the profile is using VC-defined

MAC addresses, the VC-defined MAC address appears. If the profile is using

hardware MAC addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears.

Mapping

Server hardware mapping assignment. See "iSCSI and FCoE port

assignments (on page

169

)."

Action

Delete a connection. Connections can be removed starting with the last

connection in the list.

iSCSI HBA Connections

Port

Relative order of the iSCSI port on the server receiving the profile

Network Name

Unassigned or name of the network associated with this port

Status

Displays the current linked status of the selected port

Port Speed Type

The requested operational speed for the server port. Valid values include
