HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.3.1 CLI Guide

Creating a server profile
Server profiles are defined in a multi-step process to reduce the number of arguments required in
a single VCEMCLI command. In the first step the server profile is created as unassigned and with
default connections. Subsequent VCEMCLI operations on the same server profile define other
network and SAN connections.
Creation of a server profile requires only two mandatory attributes:
• Profile name
• VC Domain Group to which the profile will belong
The profile name must be unique, less than 64 characters in length, and contain only alphanumeric
characters, hyphens, and underscores. For more information see “add profile” (page 17).
After creating the profile, connections can be added as required:
• For network connections, see the –add enet-connection command.
• For iSCSI connections, see the –add iscsi-connection command.
• For FC connections, see the –add fc-connection command.
• For FCoE connections, see the –add fcoe-connection command.
After the profile is created and the necessary connections have been added, the profile can then
be assigned. See “assign profile” (page 20) for more information.
Deleting a server profile
At this time, deleting server profiles is only available via the VCEM UI. For more information, see
the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.3.1 User Guide.
Modifying a server profile
Profiles can be modified after they are created. The following is a list of options you can choose
from to modify a profile:
• Rename the profile using the -set profile command
• Select from the following network options:
Add networks using the -add enet-connection command.◦
◦ Modify networks using the -set enet-connection command.
◦ Remove networks using the -remove enet-connection command.
NOTE: The minimum number of network connections is two. You cannot remove these two
default connections. You cannot add more than the maximum allowed network connections.
The maximum allowed network connections is based on VC firmware mode. See the HP Virtual
Connect Enterprise Manager 6.3.1 User Guide for more information.
• Select from the following Flex-10 iSCSI network connection options:
Add Flex-10 iSCSI network connections using the -add iscsi-connection command.◦
◦ Modify Flex-10 iSCSI network connections using the -set iscsi-connection
command.
◦ Remove Flex-10 iSCSI network connections using the -remove iscsi-connection
command.
NOTE: You can remove all the iSCSI connections. You cannot add more connections than
the maximum allowed. The maximum allowed connections is based on VC firmware mode.
See the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.3.1 User Guide for more information.
