Unassigning 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. Unassigning this Server Profile can make it
inconsistent with the upper level manager. It is recommended to use the
upper level manager to Unassign this Server Profile. 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.
