Under Advanced, ensure that Virtual is selected for Serial Number/UUID, MAC addresses,
and WWN addresses.
Selecting Virtual for these settings provides flexibility because the appliance assigns these
numbers and addresses. For example, when you assign this server profile to a server bay in
an enclosure, any server hardware inserted in that server bay uses the same serial number,
MAC address, and WWN address. Therefore, you can replace the server hardware without
affecting other resources (such as interconnects).
9.
Click Create to create the server profile and close the dialog box.
The
of the Server Profiles screen lists the profile you created. If you select a server
profile in the master pane, the appliance displays information about that server profile in the
details pane.
