HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.3.1 CLI Guide

The system page in HP Systems Insight Manager provides the enclosure name as displayed circled
in red in Figure 1 (page 21).
Figure 1 Enclosure name
The bay name is a string representation of the bay number. The first bay is “1”; the second bay
is “2”. For a double dense blade, the bay for the 1a blade has the name of “1a” whereas the bay
for the 1b blade has the name of “1b”. If an invalid enclosure name and bay name are supplied
to VCEMCLI, an error is reported.
Prerequisites
The bay that the server profile is assigned to must meet the following criteria:
• A profile can be pre-assigned to an empty bay. If the bay has a server and power state is on,
it must be powered off before initiating the profile operation. This can be accomplished with
a vcemcli -poweroff command executed prior to this operation.
• The requested bay must be associated with an enclosure.
• The requested bay must not have a server profile.
• The bay must belong to the same VC Domain Group where the server profile belongs.
• The bay is not an auxiliary bay. VCEM currently does not provide a method to detect auxiliary
or covered bays. A server profile cannot be assigned to an auxiliary or covered bay. VCEMCLI
reports an error if an attempt is made to assign a server profile to an auxiliary or covered
bay.
• If the server is a BL890 multisystem, the target bay must be the one containing the primary
blade.
