3.6 Test setup and results of the Profile creation and assignment feature
in OpenManage Enterprise 3.4
3.6.1 Recommendations for setting an environment to test Profile creation and
assignment feature in OpenManage Enterprise 3.4
• Maximum number of Profile supported by OpenManage Enterprise 3.4 is 2,000. One profile is
associated with one device.
• If the template used for profile creation is associated with an identity pool, it is recommended to use
one template for a maximum of 500 devices. For creation of 2,000 profiles, 4 templates should be
used, and they should be associated to unique identity pools.
3.6.2 Test environment and results of the Profile creation and assignment feature in
OpenManage Enterprise 3.4
Test setup:
• Template was captured from a server having following hardware:
- CNA card
- FC card
• The following virtual identities were deployed on each server using OME
- CNA card
> 1 iSCSI vMAC
> 2 vMAC
> 2 iSCSI IP (initiator)
> 1 iQN
> 2 FCoE identity (1WWPN) (1WWN)
- FC card
> 2 WWPN
> 2 WWNN
• Total identities per server: 12.
• IO Pool with below values:
- vMAC: 5000
- iSCI vMAC: 2500
- IPv4: /20
- WWPN/WWN: 5000
• Profile creation using REST APIs in the OME as follows:
a. Create 100 profiles at a time using a single template and wait 2 mins for profiles to be created.
Repeat this until 500 profiles are created.
b. Use the above steps to create the remaining 1500 profiles (3 more templates are needed as one
template should be used for 500 profiles. The original template can be cloned and associated to
unique IO pools).
