Copying a server profile
1. From the Server Profiles page, select the server profile that must be copied and assigned.
NOTE: Profiles with NPIV settings edited by upper level managers such as Matrix OE cannot
be copied directly in VCEM. These profiles must be managed through the upper level software
that created them.
2. Click Copy.
3. Enter a unique name for the new server profile.
4. (Optional) Select an available bay to which the new server profile is assigned.
NOTE: If a VC Domain already contains server profiles assigned to covered bays and is
upgraded to VC firmware 3.3x or later, and you unassign an existing server profile from a
covered bay, it is not possible to assign it to a covered bay again.
This situation can exist a if a VC Domain already contains server profiles assigned to covered
bays and is upgraded to VC firmware 3.3x or later.
5. Select from one of the following boot parameter options:
•
Fibre Channel Boot Parameters
•
Flex-10 iSCSI Connections
NOTE: Boot Settings for Flex-10 iSCSI Connections or FCoE Boot Parameters are
displayed if the VC Domain Group contains VC Domains with the required firmware
version (3.3x or later) and VC interconnect modules with enabled FCoE and iSCSI features.
•
FCoE Boot Parameters
6. (Optional) For Flex-10 iSCSI connections, select Use Boot Assistant and the iSCSI Boot Assistant
window opens.
7. Click OK. The message Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM) is
executing the request
appears.
8. Click OK to go to the Jobs page and monitor job progress.
Moving a server profile
IMPORTANT: Profiles can fail to boot from Direct Attached SAN fabric after relocation to another
enclosure. To correct this, see “Profiles fail to boot from Direct Attached SAN Fabric after relocation
to another enclosure” (page 180) .
You can move a server profile to the same VC Domain Group or to a different VC Domain Group.
“Moving a server profile to another bay in the same VC Domain Group” (page 120) and “Moving
a server profile to another bay in a different VC Domain Group” (page 120) describes each scenario.
NOTE: When moving a server profile to another bay in the same or different VC Domain group,
VCEM detects the presence of logical server managers or upper level managers. When performing
this task, the following message appears and explains the impact of performing that task from
outside the logical server manager or upper level manager:
IMPORTANT: VCEM has detected you may be using other products, such as
HP Matrix Operating Environment. Moving this Server Profile to another
Server Bay can make it inconsistent with the upper level manager. It
is recommended to use the upper level manager to move this Server Profile
to another Server Bay. Type YES to proceed with this operation.
