NOTE: If the server profile has Flex-10 connections enabled, and server blade NICs (onboard
or mezzanine card) are connected to HP 10/10Gb-F Virtual Connect Ethernet Module, Virtual
Connect requires you to power off the server blade to perform server profile operations with VC
firmware 2.1x. However, in VC firmware 2.3x or 3.0x, you can perform these operations with
the server blade powered on.
Creating a server profile
NOTE:
Keep the following server profile dependencies in mind:
•
Depending on the VC Domain version, the create server profile page displays a different set
of configurations. To verify the available features for each VC Domain version, see
“VCEM
features” (page 63) .
•
In a VC Domain Group with VC firmware 2.1x, the 8 Gb FC module appears only if VCEM
detects it. If VCEM detects the 4 Gb FC module, then the maximum port speed will be 4 Gb.
•
The server profile can contain only one specified FC or iSCSI or FCoE boot option.
