Designating spare bays
1. Select one or more Spares check box for bays that do not have a server profile applied. A
asterisk symbol is displayed to indicate that the spares marked with a symbol must be
confirmed.
2. To confirm the spare, click Apply Spares.
You can initiate VC Server Profile Failover either through the command line interpreter (CLI) or
through the VCEM graphical user interface (GUI).
Designate spares according to the service level needs and the blade models being used. For
example, if a data center is using three blade models in the environment, designate a spare for
each of the three blade model types. These designated spares can be any systems that do not
already have a server profile assigned within the same VC Domain Group.
Performing a Server Profile Failover
To initiate a Server Profile failover:
1. Click the Bays tab.
2. (Optional) from the Filter list, select VC Domain or VC Domain Group, and click Filter.
3. Select a bay with an assigned server profile and with a spare server.
4. Click Failover. The message The Virtual Connect enterprise Manager is
executing the request
appears.
5. Click OK to go to the Jobs page and monitor progress.
