Assign Profile to Server Bay
Power Icon indicates if the server blade is powered on or off (when a server blade is
selected).
Server Bay Assignment Displays the enclosure name, bay number, and type of server blade
S/N Serial number of the server blade in the device bay
Model Model name of the server blade in the device bay
Status Status of the server blade in the device bay
UID Icon indicates if the server blade UID is on or off.
If VC-assigned MAC addresses, WWNs, or non-default Fibre Channel boot parameters are being used,
always power off the affected server blades before assigning a profile. When assigning a VC-assigned serial
number (logical), power off the server. To power off a server blade, see "Server Bay status screen (on page
183 )."
To define a server profile:
1. Enter the server profile name.
The server profile name can be up to 31 characters in length (no spaces). Because the server profile can
be assigned to different locations, HP recommends that the name reflect the server function. The profile
can be renamed at any time.
2. To use server factory defaults for Ethernet MAC addresses, Fibre Channel WWNs, or serial numbers
(logical), select the Advanced Profile Settings checkbox. For more information, see "Advanced Profile
Settings (on page 121 )."
3. Set up Ethernet Adapter Connections for ports 1 and 2. For each port, do the following:
a. To select an available Ethernet network, click the down arrow in the Network Name field.
b. Select a network from the previously defined networks.
You can also select multiple networks. For more information, see "Multiple network connections for
a server port (on page
122 )."
c. Change the port speed setting:
i. Click the drop-down arrow in the Port Speed Setting Column.
ii. Select Preferred, Auto, or Custom. If Custom is selected, set the port speed, and then click OK.
d. To override the current PXE settings on the server, click the down arrow under PXE and select
Disabled or Enabled.
Only one port can have PXE enabled by Virtual Connect on a server blade. However, if the default
'Use BIOS' setting is selected, the server uses the current settings in the BIOS. On mezzanine cards
only, the 'Use BIOS' selection can allow more than one NIC port to have PXE enabled. Only one
embedded NIC can have PXE enabled.
The MAC field indicates whether the profile uses a server factory default or a VC-defined MAC
address. VC-defined MAC addresses are not assigned until the profile is created.
