2.2 Server profiles

Server profiles capture key aspects of the server configuration in one place, enabling you to
provision converged infrastructure hardware quickly and consistently according to your best
practices.

A server profile can contain the following configuration information about the server hardware:

Basic server identification information

Connections to Ethernet networks, Ethernet network sets, and Fibre Channel networks

Firmware versions

BIOS settings

Boot order

Physical or virtual UUIDs (universally unique identifiers), MAC (media access control) addresses
and WWN (World Wide Name) addresses

Relationship to other resources

A server profile is associated with the following resources in the

:

resources. You use a connection resource to specify connection from

the server to a network or network set. If you do not specify at least one connection, the server
cannot connect to data center networks. The networks and network sets that are available to
a server profile connection depend on the configuration of the logical interconnect of the
enclosure that contains the server hardware.
