HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.3 CLI Guide

Minimum Required Role Based Security
VCEM Group Limited Operator
CAUTION: If VCEMCLI is used in environments where logical server managers or upper level
managers are present, assigning a server profile can make it inconsistent with the upper level
manager. HP recommends using the upper level manager to assign server profiles.
Remarks
The job status of non-blocking operations can be obtained by executing VCEMCLI with the –show
job command and providing the associated job ID. For more information see “show job” (page 67).
The system page in HP Systems Insight Manager provides the enclosure name as displayed circled
in red in Figure 1 (page 22).
Figure 1 Enclosure name
The bay name is a string representation of the bay number. The first bay is “1”; the second bay
is “2”. For a double dense blade, the bay for the 1a blade has the name of “1a” whereas the bay
for the 1b blade has the name of “1b”. If an invalid enclosure name and bay name are supplied
to VCEMCLI, an error is reported.
Prerequisites
The bay that the server profile is assigned to must meet the following criteria:
• A profile can be pre-assigned to an empty bay. If the bay has a server and power state is on,
it must be powered off before initiating the profile operation. This can be accomplished with
a vcemcli -poweroff command executed prior to this operation.
• The requested bay must be associated with an enclosure.
• The requested bay must not have a server profile.
