Virtual Connect server profiles 177
Column name Description
Profile
Profile Name Descriptive name for the server profile. Do not use spaces.
Network Access Group Associates a network access group to the profile
Status Status of the server profile
Serial Number The serial number assigned to this profile from the serial number pool selected
on the Serial Number Settings screen (on page
150 )
Server UID The server UUID generated by Virtual Connect and assigned to this profile
Ethernet Adapter Connections
Port Relative order of the Ethernet port on the server receiving the profile. System
board NICs are first in the order, followed by NICs on mezzanine cards. See
"iSCSI and FCoE port assignments (on page 144 )" and "Bandwidth
assignment (on page 146 )."
Network Name Unassigned, name of the network, or "Multiple Networks" associated with
this port.
Status Displays the current linked status of the selected port
Port Speed Type The requested operational speed for the server port. Valid values include
"Auto", "Preferred", and "Custom".
If the speed type is "Auto", the maximum port speed is determined by the
maximum configured speed for the network.
If the speed type is "Preferred", the speed of the network is the same as the
preferred speed of the network to which the connection is associated. If no
preferred speed is configured for a network, it defaults to "Auto".
If the speed type is "Custom", the user can configure any speed from 100-Mb
to MAX Configured speed for the network in 100Mb increments.*
Allocated Port Speed Allocated bandwidth of the port. See "Bandwidth assignment (on page
146 )."
PXE Enables or disables PXE on the network connection. Valid values are
"enabled", "disabled", and "UseBios". If this value is not specified, the
default is "UseBios".
Only one connection can have PXE enabled per profile.
MAC As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware MAC for mapped connections appears.
For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to appear. If the
profile is assigned, the MAC address assigned to the port appears. If the
profile is unassigned and the domain is set to show factory default MAC
addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears. If the profile is using VC-defined
MAC addresses, the VC-defined MAC address appears. If the profile is using
hardware MAC addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears.
Mapping Server hardware mapping assignment. See "iSCSI and FCoE port
assignments (on page 144 )."
Action
Delete a connection. Connections can be removed starting with the last
connection in the list.
iSCSI HBA Connections
Port Relative order of the iSCSI port on the server receiving the profile
Network Name Unassigned or name of the network associated with this port
Status Displays the current linked status of the selected port
Port Speed Type The requested operational speed for the server port. Valid values include
"Auto", "Preferred", and "Custom".
If the speed type is "Auto", the maximum port speed is determined by the
maximum configured speed for the network.
