vcemcli -assign profile -profilename MyProfile1 –enclosurename BigEnclosure –bayname 1
• Assign a profile to a multi-blade server in bays 5-8 of the enclosure:

more than one slot in the enclosure. The operation fails If you specify any slot other than the

vcemcli -assign profile –profilename MyProfile1 –enclosurename enc0 –bayname 5
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 60).
