Working with server profiles
The VCEMCLI provides the most commonly used server profile operations, including:
•
Server profile creation or update
•
Server profile assignment, unassignment, move or export to CSV
For more information on server profiles and the available server profile operations, see the HP
Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User Guide available at:
http://www.hp.com/go/vcem/ .
Creating a server profile
Server profiles are defined in a multi-step process to reduce the number of arguments required in
a single VCEMCLI command. In the first step, the server profile is created as unassigned and with
default connections. Subsequent VCEMCLI operations on the same server profile define other
network and SAN connections.
Creation of a server profile requires only two attributes:
•
Server profile name
•
VC domain group to which the server profile will belong
The server profile name must be unique, be less than 64 characters in length, and contain only
alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. For more information, see
“add profile”
(page 21) .
After you create the server profile, you can add connections as required:
•
For network connections, use the –add enet-connection command.
•
For iSCSI connections, use the –add iscsi-connection command.
•
For FC connections, use the –add fc-connection command.
•
For FCoE connections, use the –add fcoe-connection command.
After you create the server profile and add the necessary connections, you can assign the server
profile. For more information see
“assign profile” (page 24) .
Deleting a server profile
Use the -remove profile command to remove server profiles.
Modifying a server profile
You can modify server profiles after you create them. You can choose from the following options
to modify a server profile:
•
Rename the server profile by using the -set profile command.
•
Select from the following network options:
Add networks by using the -add enet-connection command. ◦
◦ Modify networks by using the -set enet-connection command.
◦ Remove networks by using the -remove enet-connection command.
◦ Add multiple networks by using the -add server-port-map command.
◦ Modify multiple networks by using the -set server-port-map command.
◦ Remove multiple networks by using the -remove server-port-map command.
