• Server profile overall status
• Ethernet, iSCSI, FCoE or FC connection status
• Port mapping
• Allocated bandwidth
Unassigning a server profile
VCEM detects the presence of logical server managers or upper level managers. When performing
this task, a prompt dialog message appears and explains the impact of performing that task from
outside the logical server manager or upper level manager. The following message appears.
IMPORTANT: VCEM has detected you may be using other products, such as
HP Matrix Operating Environment. Unassigning this Server Profile can
make it inconsistent with the upper level manager. It is recommended
to use the upper level manager to Unassign this Server Profile. Type
YES to proceed with this operation.
To proceed, you must type YES, and then click OK. VCEM does not proceed if you cut and paste
YES into the field.
1. From the Server Profiles page, select the assigned server profile to unassign.
2. Click Unassign. You are prompted to confirm the unassignment.

that created them.
