Server management 114
• Making modifications to a profile that affect settings on the server blade; for example, PXE
enable/disable, changing the number of connections, or changing Fibre Channel boot parameters
• When assigning a VC-Assigned serial number (logical)
The following operations do not require the server blade to be powered off:
• Changing the network connected to an already defined Ethernet port
• Changing the Fabric connected to a Fibre Channel port
• Changing the speed of a Fibre Channel port
• Assigning or unassigning server profiles, if server factory defaults are used for MAC addresses and
WWNs, and BIOS Fibre Channel boot settings are used
Flex-10 connection changes that require power off
With Virtual Connect Manager v2.1x, always power off server blades, with Flex-10 connections, in the
following instances:
• Changing a connection's network*:
o From "unassigned" to a single network
o From a single network to "unassigned"
o From "unassigned" to multiple networks
o From multiple networks to "unassigned"
• Changing the requested bandwidth*
• Adding a connection that is mapped to Flex-10
• Removing a connection that is mapped to Flex-10
• Assigning a profile to a server that maps Flex-10 connections
• Unassigning a profile with Flex-10 connections
* Virtual Connect Manager v2.30 and higher does not require power off for these actions.
Flex-10 connection changes that do not require power off
With Virtual Connect Manager v2.10 and higher, it is not necessary to power off the server blade, with
Flex-10 connections, in the following instances:
• Changing a connection's network:
o From a single network to another single network
o From a single network to multiple networks
o From multiple networks to a single network
• Modifying the networks or VLAN IDs in a connection with multiple networks
With Virtual Connect Manager v2.30 and higher, it is not necessary to power off the server blade, with
Flex-10 connections, in the following instances:
• Changing a connection's network:
o From "unassigned" to a single network
o From a single network to "unassigned"
o From "unassigned" to multiple networks
o From multiple networks to "unassigned"
