5 Managing server profiles

Profiles

This section describes how to create and manage profiles for use with VCEM.

A Virtual Connect server profile is a logical grouping of attributes related to server connectivity that can be
assigned to a server bay. A server profile can be assigned to any server bay within the VC Domain Group.

VCEM requires the server to power down for any profile operations such as create, delete, unassign, copy,
move, and edit. For more information on this procedure, see "Bays."

To access the Profiles page, click the Profiles tab. Information on the Profiles pages can be filtered by
selecting one of the following entries in the Filter list.

All—Select this option to display all profiles being managed by VCEM.

VC Domain—Select this option to display all profiles that exist in a specified VC Domain. The second
list can be used to select a specific VC Domain to use as a filter.

VC Domain Group—Select this option to show all profiles that exist in a VC Domain Group. The second
list can be used to select a specific VC Domain Group to use as a filter.

After selecting the options in the filter, click Filter.
