HP Virtual Connect Manager Command Line Interface Version 2.30 User Guide

Configuring the Virtual Connect domain using the CLI 87
A server profile can be assigned and defined for each device bay so that the server blade can be
powered on and connected to a deployment network. These profiles can then later be modified or
replaced by another server profile.
A server profile can also be assigned to an empty bay to allow deployment at a later date.
Adding enet-network connections to a profile
To add a new Ethernet network connection to an existing server profile, use the add enet-connection
command:
>add enet-connection MyProfile network=MyNetwork pxe=enabled
To add a multiple network Ethernet connection on a server port, use the following commands:
>add enet-connection MyProfile pxe=enabled
>add server-port-map MyProfile:1 MyNetwork VlanID=100
If the domain setting for SharedServerVlanID is set to true, then the VlanID property cannot be
modified. Instead, the name of the shared uplink set with which the network is associated is required.
>add server-port-map MyProfile:1 MyNetwork Uplinkset=MyUplinkset
Adding FC fabric connections to a server profile
To add a new FC SAN connection to an existing server profile, use the add fc-connection
command:
>add fc-connection MyProfile fabric=SAN_5
Assigning a server profile to device bay 1
To assign a server profile to a specific device bay, use the assign profile command:
>assign profile MyProfile enc0:1
>assign profile MyProfile 1
Configuring IGMP settings
To set Ethernet IGMP snooping properties, use the set igmp command:
> set igmp enabled=true timeout=30
IGMP allows VC-Enet modules to monitor (snoop) the IP multicast membership activities and to configure
hardware Layer 2 switching behavior of multicast traffic to optimize network resource usage. Currently
only IGMP v1 and v2 (RFC2236) are supported.
The IGMP Snooping idle timeout interval is set to 260 seconds by default. This value is basically the
"Group Membership Interval" value as specified by IGMP v2 specification (RFC2236). For optimum
network resource usage, set the interval to match the configuration on the customer network's multicast
router settings.
Configuring MAC cache failover settings
• To configure MAC Cache Failover Settings, use the set mac-cache command:
>set mac-cache enabled=true refresh=10
• To display MAC Cache Failover Settings, use the show mac-cache command:
>show mac-cache
