Create Server Profile Definition
Use this screen to create a new server profile definition, which defines and configures Ethernet and Fibre
Channel connectivity for the server.
For more information on defining a server profile and advanced profile settings, see the HP Virtual Connect
for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide on the Installing tab of the HP BladeSystem Technical Resources website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation).
Server profile troubleshooting
In some cases, server profiles can be assigned to server blades when certain mismatches exist between the
server profile definition and the server blade. The following list summarizes Virtual Connect behavior under
these circumstances:
• If the number of network connections in the profile is more than the number of physical Ethernet ports,
the profile is assigned.
• If a switch other than a Virtual Connect Ethernet switch is connected to any port in the profile, the profile
is assigned, but the MAC address is not changed on the NIC. The connections display a status of “Not
mapped” when viewing the profile.
