2.4 Connections

A connection is the logical representation of a connection between a server and a network or network set. Connections are part of server profiles. A connection specifies the following:

•The network or network set to which the server is to be connected

•Configuration overrides (such as a change to the preferred bandwidth) to be made to the default configuration for the specified network or network set

•Boot order

Relationship to other resources

A connection resource is associated with the following resources in the resource summary diagram (page 29):

•Exactly one server profile resource.•Exactly one connection template resource.

•Exactly one network or network set resource. The resources that are available to the connection depend on the configuration of the logical interconnect of the enclosure that contains the server hardware.

2.5 Server hardware types

A server hardware type captures details about the physical configuration of server hardware, and defines which settings are available to the server profiles assigned to that type of server hardware. For example, the server hardware type for the HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 Server Blade includes a complete set of default BIOS settings for that server blade hardware configuration.

When you add an enclosure to the appliance, the appliance detects the servers installed in the enclosure and creates a server hardware type for each unique server configuration it discovers. When you add a unique rack mount server model, the appliance creates a new server hardware type for that server configuration.
