Moving server profiles
You can move server profiles within the same VC domain group or to a different VC domain group. Using VCEM,
you can quickly deploy, replace, and recover servers and their associated workloads by simply assigning or
reassigning the VC server profile to a different enclosure bay. When you move a server profile, the associated
MAC, WWN, boot-from-SAN parameters, and related workloads always move with the server profile. You can use
the VCEM GUI to move server profiles to a user-defined spare server or any other candidate server. You can
manually move a server profile within the same VC domain, to any other domain in the same VC domain group, or
to a different VC domain group in any location.
To manage server profile movement from VCEM, you must have at least group-limited operator privileges. To move
a server profile from one VC domain group to another, access the profile move option (Figure 6) by selecting the
server profile management option on the VCEM home page.
Figure 6: The VCEM “Server Profiles” tab gives you access to the profile move option.
