HP 449298-001 manual Creating server profiles, Adding enet-network connections to a profile

Page 49

If a server blade is inserted into a device bay already assigned a server profile, Virtual Connect Manager automatically updates the configuration of that server blade before it is allowed to power up and connect to the network.

If a server blade is moved from a Virtual Connect managed enclosure to a non-Virtual Connect enclosure, local MAC addresses and WWNs are automatically returned to the original factory defaults. This feature prevents duplicate MAC addresses and WWNs from appearing in the data center because of a server blade redeployment.

NOTE: If you are using server factory default MAC addresses WWNs and default Fibre Channel boot parameters, you do not have to power off a server to make any profile changes. If you are using HP assigned or user assigned MAC addresses or WWNs, you must power a server off when moving a profile to the server or away from the server.

Creating server profiles

To create a new server profile, use the add profile command:

>add profile MyProfile

After an enclosure is imported into a Virtual Connect domain, server blades that have not been assigned a server profile are isolated from all networks to ensure that only properly configured server blades are attached to data center networks.

A server profile can be assigned and defined for each device bay so that the server blade can be powered on and connected to a deployment network. These profiles can then later be modified or replaced by another server profile.

A server profile can also be assigned to an empty bay to allow deployment at a later date.

Adding enet-network connections to a profile

To add a new Ethernet network connection to an existing server profile, use the add enet-connectioncommand:

>add enet-connection MyProfile network=MyNetwork pxe=enabled

Adding FC fabric connections to a server profile

To add a new FC SAN connection to an existing server profile, use the add fc-connectioncommand:

>add fc-connection MyProfile fabric=SAN_5

Assigning a server profile to device bay 1

To assign a server profile to a specific device bay, use the assign profile command:

>assign profile MyProfile enc0:1

>assign profile MyProfile 1

Configuring IGMP settings

To set Ethernet IGMP snooping properties, use the set igmp command:

> set igmp enabled=true timeout=30
