a. Assign serial numbers to server blades within the domain.
b. Create a server profile definition.
c. Assign server profiles.

e. Create server profiles.
After an enclosure is imported into a Virtual Connect domain, server blades that have not been assigned a
server profile are isolated from all networks to ensure that only properly configured server blades are
attached to data center networks.
A server profile can be assigned and defined for each device bay so that the server blade can be powered
on and connected to a deployment network. These profiles can then later be modified or replaced by another
server profile.
A server profile can also be assigned to an empty bay to enable deployment at a later date.
