To perform a server profile migration of a SAN-booted server between enclosures directly attached to a 3PAR
storage system in the VC multi-enclosure environment, you must perform the following steps manually:
1.
Power off the server.
2.
Un-assign the server profile.
3.
Change the Primary and Secondary Target WWNs in the FC Boot Parameters section of the profile to
reflect the WWNs of the 3PAR storage array ports directly connected to the destination enclosure. For
more information about the FC boot parameters, see "Fibre Channel boot parameters (on page
)."
4.
Assign the profile to the destination location.
5.
Power on the destination server.
Double-dense mode
In double-dense mode, bays 7 and 8 must contain the same type of VC-FC or FlexFabric module as bays 5
and 6. When a fabric is created on bay 5 or 6, the corresponding uplink ports from bays 7 or 8 are also
considered part of the fabric. This allows connectivity from the B-side of the server.
