HP Virtual Connect Manager Command Line Interface for c-Class BladeSystem Version 3.51/3.60 User Guide
Command line  24 
Item  Description 
AddressType (optional) 
The source of MAC address assignments to be used during the creation of 
the new connection. If not specified, the default is the domain default. If 
"User-Defined" is specified, both an Ethernet MAC Address and iSCSI 
MAC Address must also be specified. Valid values include 
"Factory-Default" and "User-Defined". 
IMPORTANT: "User-Defined" addresses within the domain address pool 
range are permanently depleted from the pool and can only be re-used as 
"User-Defined". Deleting the profile does not return the address to the 
pool. Deleting the domain is the only way to return "User-Defined" 
addresses to the pool. 
EthernetMAC (required if 
AddressType is 
User-Defined)
The user-defined Ethernet MAC address to use for the connection. This 
property is required if the AddressType specified is "User-Defined". 
iScsiMAC (required if 
AddressType is 
User-Defined)
The user-defined iSCSI MAC address to use for the connection. This 
property is required if the AddressType specified is "User-Defined". 
SpeedType (optional) 
The requested operational speed for the server port. Valid values include 
"Auto", "Preferred", and "Custom". The default value is "Preferred". 
If the speed type is "Auto", the maximum port speed is determined by the 
maximum configured speed for the network. 
If the speed type is "Preferred", the speed of the network is the same as the 
preferred speed of the network to which the connection is associated. If no 
preferred speed is configured for a network, it defaults to "Auto". 
If the speed type is "Custom", you can configure a speed from 100Mb to 
MAX configured speed for the network in 100Mb increments. 
Speed (required if the 
SpeedType is Custom) 
The user-defined speed for the server port. Valid values include 100Mb to 
MAX configured speed for the network in 100Mb increments.
