• Delete the profile • Modify FCoE HBA connections NOTE: The process to assign, modify, or unassign a profile to an Integrity BL8x0c i2 server blade can take up to several minutes. If VC-assigned MAC addresses, WWNs, or non-default Fibre Channel boot parameters are being used, the server blade must be powered off before any server side changes can be made. FC, FCoE, or iSCSI boot parameters require the server to be powered off. If the affected server ports all support DCC, and DCC is operating properly, then the server does not need to be powered off to change the network or allocated speed. To power off a server blade, see "Server Bay Status screen (on page 231)" and "Server blade power on and power off guidelines (on page 246)." Changes to Ethernet network and Fibre Channel fabric settings can be made without powering down the server. For complete information on server power requirements when assigning or removing server profiles, see "Server profile troubleshooting (on page 245)." Virtual Connect server profiles 175

Virtual Connect server profiles

Delete the profile

Modify FCoE HBA connections

NOTE:

The process to assign, modify, or unassign a profile to an Integrity BL8x0c i2 server blade

can take up to several minutes.

If VC-assigned MAC addresses, WWNs, or non-default Fibre Channel boot parameters are being used, the

server blade must be powered off before any server side changes can be made. FC, FCoE, or iSCSI boot

parameters require the server to be powered off. If the affected server ports all support DCC, and DCC is

operating properly, then the server does not need to be powered off to change the network or allocated

speed. To power off a server blade, see "Server Bay Status screen (on page

231

)" and "Server blade power

on and power off guidelines (on page

246

)."

Changes to Ethernet network and Fibre Channel fabric settings can be made without powering down the

server. For complete information on server power requirements when assigning or removing server profiles,

see "Server profile troubleshooting (on page

245

)."
