Page 4: Overview
Scripting functionality provides the capability to configure a target system based on configuration information saved from a source server. The target system is not required to be identical to the source server. The configuration of the source server may not be duplicated in its entirety on the target system. -
Page 5: Scripting
Adapters embedded on the system board are assigned the lowest numbers, followed by adapters ordered by their slot or switch bay number with the lowest slot or switch bay number first. Multiport adapters are ordered by ascending port or switch port number within each slot. -
Page 6: Teams On Target Systems
• In general, the adapters on the team on the target system do not have to be the same type of adapters that were teamed on the source server. However, some adapters cannot be teamed and if an attempt is made to form a team with invalid combinations of adapters an error occurs. For example, teams with different speed capabilities cannot be teamed on a load balancing team. - Page 7 In Transmit Load Balancing, Switch-assisted Load Balancing, and 802.3ad with Fault Tolerance teams, the adapters must be capable of a common speed. If you try to add an adapter to one of these existing team types and that adapter is not capable of a common speed with the other adapters in the team then the team option is disabled.

• VlanName—Specifies the descriptive name of the VLAN ID. Every VLAN must have a name assigned to it. Duplicate names are allowed if you want to use the same names for different VLan IDs. • NetworkAddress—This value is written only for adapters that are not teamed. It overrides the burned- in address with a locally administered address. -
