Server management 103
The MAC field indicates whether the profile uses a server factory default or a VC-defined MAC
address. VC-defined MAC addresses are not assigned until the profile is created.
PXE allows an Ethernet port to be used for a network boot. PXE should only be enabled on a port
that is connected to a network with a properly configured PXE environment.
3. If the server will use more than two network connections, click Add Network Connection, and then
select the appropriate network.
When additional network connections are added, the X in the Delete column becomes active for
those new connections. Click the X to delete additional network connections from the list.
4. If the VC domain contains VC-FC modules, set up the Fibre Channel connections. Two Fibre Channel
connections exist for each set of horizontally adjacent interconnect bays in the enclosure that contain
VC-FC modules. For each port, do the following:
a. Click the down arrow under FC SAN connection to select an available SAN.
b. Click the down arrow under Port Speed to select Auto, 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb, or Disabled for that port.
Auto is the default.
5. To modify the Fibre Channel boot parameters, select the Show Fibre Channel Boot Parameters
checkbox. See "Fibre Channel boot parameters (on page 108 )."
6. To assign the server profile to a device bay, click the down arrow next to Select Location to select an
enclosure and bay number. This step can be deferred.
If a server blade is present in the selected location, it must be powered off for the profile to be saved
and assigned properly.
For more information on server power requirements when assigning or removing server profiles, see
"Server profile troubleshooting (on page
115 )."
7. Click Apply.
Multiple network connections for a server port
Server port connections to virtual networks are defined on the Define Server Profile screen (on page 97 ).
Previous to Virtual Connect Manager v1.31, each server port could only be connected to a single virtual
network. With v1.31 and higher, each server port can be connected to multiple virtual networks, each
using a unique server VLAN ID for virtual network mapping.
