Moving a server profile
VCEM detects the presence of logical server managers or upper level managers. When performing
this task, a prompt dialog message appears and explains the impact of performing that task from
outside the logical server manager or upper level manager. The following message appears:
IMPORTANT: VCEM has detected you may be using other products, such as
HP Insight Dynamics – VSE. Moving this Server Profile to another Server
Bay can make it inconsistent with the upper level manager. It is
recommended to use the upper level manager to move this Server Profile
to another Server Bay. Type YES to proceed with this operation.
To proceed, you must type YES, and then click OK. VCEM does not proceed if you cut and paste
YES into the field.
1. From the Server Profiles page, select a server profile.
2. Click Move. The Move Server Profile page appears.
3. In the Move to Bay list, select an available bay to which the new server profile is to be moved.
4. Click OK. The Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is executing the request
message appears.

Performing a VC Server Profile Failover
Virtual Connect Server Profile Failover is a VCEM feature that enables the automated movement
of VC server profiles and associated network connections to customer-defined spare servers in a
VC Domain Group. The manual movement of a VC server profile requires the following steps to
complete the operation, but VC Server Profile Failover combines these separate steps into one
seamless task:
1. Power down the original or source server.
2. Select a new target server.
3. Move the VC server profile to the target server.
4. Power up the new server.
VC Server Profile Failover operations require the source and target servers to be configured to
boot-from-SAN, and can be initiated from the VCEM graphical user interface (GUI) as a one-button
operation or from a command line interface (CLI). When used with the automatic event handling
functionality in Systems Insight Manager, VC Server Profile Failover operations can be automatically
triggered based user-defined events.
When selecting a target server from a pool of defined spare systems, VC Server Profile Failover
automatically chooses the same server model as the source server.
System administrators can use VC Server Profile Failover to perform the rapid and cost effective
recovery of physical servers within the same VC Domain Group with minimal administrator
intervention.
