Virtual Connect server profiles 153
NOTE: The process to assign, modify, or unassign a profile to an Integrity BL8x0c i2 server blade
can take up to several minutes.
If VC-assigned MAC addresses, WWNs, or non-default Fibre Channel boot parameters are being used, the
server blade must be powered off before any server side changes can be made. FC, FCoE, or iSCSI boot
parameters require the server to be powered off. If the affected server ports all support DCC, and DCC is
operating properly, then the server does not need to be powered off to change the network or allocated
speed. To power off a server blade, see "Server Bay Status screen (on page 199)" and "Server blade power
on and power off guidelines (on page 213)."
Changes to Ethernet network and Fibre Channel fabric settings can be made without powering down the
server. For complete information on server power requirements when assigning or removing server profiles,
see "Server profile troubleshooting (on page 212)."
