New FCoE connections can be added at the end of this list. Connections can be removed in
the reverse order from which they were added. An error message is displayed if the maximum
number of FCoE connections is reached.

NOTE:

If there are no SAN fabrics using the uplink ports, the FCoE connections can be

configured as unassigned.

12. You can create a single server profile, or multiple server profiles. To create a single server

profile, select Single Profile.

You can either leave the profile unassigned or click Select Location to assign the profile to a
server bay. A table is displayed allowing you to select a domain and enclosure and also select
the bays you want associated with the profile. Click OK to create the profiles and a profile
list is displayed. Click OK to accept the assignments.

13. In addition to creating a single server profile, you can create multiple profiles at the same time

and decide to leave a number of profiles with an unassigned status, or assign those server
profiles to bays. Choose from one of the multiple server profile options:

1.

Select Assign server profiles to specific server bays and click Select Location to make the
assignments. A window opens allowing you to select a domain and enclosure and all
the bays associated with the enclosure. Click OK to create the profile and a profile list is
displayed. Click OK to accept the assignments.

2.

Select Leave server profiles unassigned for now and pick the number of profiles you want
to create (up to 50). The server profile names are automatically generated based on the
server profile prefix. Click Select Location to select more bays or delete bays. Click OK
to create the profiles.

NOTE:

When creating multiple server profiles, boot parameters are ignored. Edit each server

profile to specify the boot parameters.

14. Click OK. The Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is executing the request

message appears.

15. Click OK to go to the Jobs page and monitor job progress.

NOTE:

To create server profiles for Integrity Blades that boot from SAN, you must manually

configure the SAN boot entries in the blade server EFI console.

Configuring the target boot LUN

When creating or editing server profiles, you can specify a target boot LUN for the FC SAN, iSCSI
or FCoE connections designated as Primary and Secondary in the boot priority column.

Target boot LUN values must be compliant with proper ranges.

For VC Domains, you can provide the target boot LUN in either of the following possible formats:

When using LUN values from 0–255, you can specify the LUN and either decimal or in 16-digit
hexadecimal number format.

When using LUN values greater than 255, you must specify the LUN in 16-digit hexadecimal
number format.
