You can obtain the job status of non-blocking operations by executing the VCEMCLI with the –show
job

(page 74)

.

The system page in HP Systems Insight Manager provides the enclosure name, as shown circled
in red in

Figure 1 (page 25)

.

Figure 1 Enclosure name

The bay name is a string representation of the bay number. The first bay is “1”; the second bay
is “2”. For a double-dense blade, the bay for the 1a blade has the name of “1a”, whereas the
bay for the 1b blade has the name of “1b”. If an invalid enclosure name and bay name are
supplied to the VCEMCLI, an error is reported.

Prerequisites

The bay that the server profile is assigned to must meet the following criteria:

A profile can be preassigned to an empty bay. If the bay contains a server and the power
state is on, it must be powered off before you initiate the profile operation. This can be
accomplished with a vcemcli -poweroff command executed prior to this operation.

The requested bay must be associated with an enclosure.

The requested bay must not have a server profile.

The bay must belong to the same VC domain group where the server profile belongs.

The bay is not an auxiliary bay. VCEM currently does not provide a method to detect auxiliary
or covered bays. A server profile cannot be assigned to an auxiliary or covered bay. The
VCEMCLI reports an error if an attempt is made to assign a server profile to an auxiliary or
covered bay.
