7 PowerEdge MX7000 Server Configuration using OME Modular
o Detach profile can be performed via the server overview page
(Overview → Configuration Profile → Detach Profile). Detach profile
will force reclaim any provisioned MAC/WWNs from the server and
remove all references to the profile. The reclaimed MAC/WWNs will be
made available in the Identity Pool for new deployments. As the
identities are moved back to the available pool, any new deployments
to the same server in future will not guarantee same MAC/WWNs.
Enhancements in upcoming releases will allow staging of reclaimed
MAC/WWNs in a reserved pool before checking them into global
identity pool, please refer to “Preview of enhancements in the
upcoming releases” section of this article for details.
❖ Figure 1 (box 5 → box 8): Migrate profile:
o Migrate profile allows the profile and the virtual identities (MAC/WWNs)
to be migrated to another server in the same domain. This feature
enables rapid workload recovery to a spare server in the domain. Once
the migrate is complete, Identity Pools usage will show the virtual
identities (MAC/WWNs) are now assigned to the new server.
Stage 5 (Slot Profile): A Template can be attached as a “slot profile” to a slot as shown
in Figure 1 transition (box 4 → box 9). There are two ways of attaching a profile to a
slot:
1. Via the global Configuration → Deploy → Deploy Template
2. Via Chassis → Hardware → Chassis Slots.
It is recommended to only use Chassis → Hardware → Chassis Slots to avoid some
known issues in the global Configuration wizard, please refer to “FAQ and
Recommended usage” section of this article for more details.
After a successful attach, the following options are available for further lifecycle
management.
❖ Figure 1 transition (box 9 → box 10): Insert/Reinsert server:
o Insert a new server (C 1): Inserting a server will automatically deploy
the profile attached to the slot including the MAC/WWNs. Note: The
assumption is that the newly inserted server does not have any device
profile on it, if it does then any MAC/WWNs on the server will be
overridden.
o Remove (C 1) and re-insert the same server (C 1): Removing and re-
inserting the same server (which already had the slot profile deployed
on it) in the same slot does not trigger the deployment again. This is a
feature that allows the administrator to make any quick fixes to the
