Youcannot assign a static IP address to a server or service profile if that IP address has already been
assignedto a server or service profile in the Cisco UCS domain. If you attempt to do so, Cisco UCS
Managerwarns you that the IP addressis already in use and rejects the configuration.
Note
Amanagement IP addressthat is assignedto a serviceprofile moves with the serviceprofile. If aKVM or
SoLsession is active when you migrate the service profile to another server, Cisco UCS Manager terminates
thatsession and does notrestart it after the migrationis completed. You configure this IP address when you
createor modify aservice profile.
