4. You can then assign these server profiles to any of the individual slots of

a blade server or to a PRIMERGY rack server.

5. If required, you can remove the assignment of the server profile.

For blade server, you can move the profiles from one blade server slot to
another, or move them to another blade server. For PRIMERGY rack
servers, you can move the profiles from one server to another server.

Defining networks (LAN) (for blade servers only)

In order for VIOM to be able to switch the network paths correctly when
assigning profiles, first VIOM has to know which networks are present on the
respective chassis on which uplink ports.

This also makes it possible to separate individual server blades or groups of
server blades from a network perspective so that two server blade groups do
not have any connection to each other in terms of network.

Defining network paths on an IBP module includes the following steps:

l

Defining an uplink set.

An uplink set comprises one or several uplink ports. An uplink port is an
external port that connects the chassis with your LAN infrastructure. If
an uplink set is used by several virtual network connections (VLANs),
the uplink set is referred to as a shared uplink set.

l

Defining one or several networks that are assigned to the uplink set.

The definition of a network in the context of VIOM, refers to
the allocation of a meaningful name for network access from
outside the network
