Virtual Connect server profiles 220
• When a profile is added, the FC/FCoE connections initially displayed are based on the FC/FCoE
module configuration in the domain. A pair of horizontally adjacent FC/FCoE-capable modules has
two connections.
• Connections can only be added or removed from the bottom. You can only add or delete connections
at the end of the list.
• You can remove connections at any time (one at a time, from the bottom).
• If the existing profile connections do not match the current FC/FCoE module configurations, the add
operation is not allowed.
• The current maximum number of per server profile FC/FCoE connections mapped to the same I/O bay
is four, unless you are using the HP Integrity BL890c i4 Server Blade.
o When FlexFabric modules exist in I/O bays 1 and 2, there can be an additional eight FCoE
connections that will get mapped to LOMs 3 and 4 on the blades in an Integrity BL890c i4 server.
The BL890c i4 server has CNA LOMs, which enable two FCoE connections to I/O bay 1 (from
LOMs 1 and 3) and two FCoE connections to I/O bay 2 (from LOMs 2 and 4).
The following table lists several scenarios that describe how adding FC/FCoE connections affects an existing
profile. The scenarios are true for FC module configurations and FC modules, as well as FCoE module
configurations and FCoE-capable modules.
