HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide

HP Virtual Connect Manager 87
• If the number of Fibre Channel connections in the profile is more than the number of physical Fibre
Channel HBA ports, the profile is assigned, but the connections display a status of “Not mapped” when
viewing the profile.
• If the number of iSCSI connections in the profile is more than the number of available iSCSI ports on the
server, the profile assignment succeeds, but the connections display a status of "Not mapped" when
viewing the profile.
• If the number of FCoE connections in the profile is more than the number of available FCoE ports on the
server, the profile assignment succeeds, but the connections display a statue of "Not mapped" when
viewing the profile.
IMPORTANT: Disabling a server port by entering the iLO Remote Console, rebooting the server,
and then using the F9 key to enter RBSU causes a "Profile pending" status for a server profile
when a VCM failover occurs.
IMPORTANT: When used with Virtual Connect, the HP Integrity BL860c Server Blade does not
support configuration of PXE settings. Other Virtual Connect server profile settings are configured
properly when the appropriate BL860c firmware is used.
VCM supports a maximum of 256 profiles within the domain.
Assign Server Profiles
Server profiles are created from the definition. When these server profiles are created, you can choose to
automatically assign them to device bays or to leave the server profiles unassigned.
When defining server profiles in a multi-enclosure configuration, profiles can be assigned to server bays in
any of the enclosures that have been added and imported into the domain.
When a profile is created and assigned to a multi-blade server, the profile is applied to all of the blades in
the multi-blade server. Be sure that the profile contains enough Ethernet and Fibre Channel connection entries
for all of the ports on all of the blades in the multi-blade server.
