NOTE: To create server profiles for Integrity Blades that boot from SAN, you must manually
configure the SAN boot entries in the blade server EFI console.
Creating multiple server profiles
In addition to creating a server profile, you can create multiple profiles at the same time. You can
leave the profiles unassigned, or assign them to server bays.
NOTE: Multiple unassigned profile names will not update the profile name field at the top of
screen.
To create multiple server profiles:
1.
From the Server Profiles page, click New.
2. Select the VC Domain Group where you want the profile to reside.
3. Enter a profile name under Server Profile Information
→Profile Name:
4. Choose from one of the multiple server options:
a.
Select Assign server profiles to specific server bays and click Select Location to make the
assignments. A window opens allowing you to select a domain and enclosure and all
the bays associated with the enclosure. Click OK to create the profile and a profile list is
displayed. Click OK to accept the assignments.
b. Select Leave server profiles unassigned for now and pick the number of profiles you want
to create (up to 50). The server profile names are automatically generated based on the
server profile prefix. Click Select Location to select more bays or delete bays. Click OK
to create the profiles.
NOTE: When creating multiple server profiles, boot parameters are ignored. Individually
edit each server profile to specify the boot parameters.
Configuring the target boot LUN
When creating or editing server profiles, you can specify a target boot LUN for the FC SAN
connections designated as Primary and Secondary in the boot priority column.
Target boot LUN values must be compliant with proper ranges.
For VC Domains, you can provide the target boot LUN in either of the following possible formats:
•
When using LUN values from 0–255, you can specify the LUN and either decimal or in 16-digit
hexadecimal number format.
•
When using LUN values greater than 255, you must specify the LUN in 16-digit hexadecimal
number format.
