Editing a Server Profile
We will edit server profile Server-1 and add TWO additional NICs to the server.
Each server NIC will connect to a specific network.
•
On the main VC menu, select Server Profile Server-1
•
Under Ethernet Network Connections, click the Add Network Connection button twice
•
Two additional Network connections will appear
•
Under the Network Name column, select PROD-B-1and RROD-B-2
•
Under the Port Speed Settings column, select a speed for each NIC
•
Set the NIC speeds as follows;
○
NIC1 (port LOM1:a) Auto or Preferred
○
NIC2 (port LOM2:a) Auto or Preferred
○
NIC3 (port LOM1:b) Set to Custom – 7.5Gb
○
NIC4 (port LOM2:b) Set to Custom – 7.5Gb
•
By setting NICs 3 & 4 to 7.5Gb, and leaving NICs 1 & 2 as Auto/Preferred, they will be assigned
the remaining 2.5Gb of bandwidth each
•
Optionally, you can add up to a total of 8 NIC ports and then assigned the speeds accordingly
•
Scroll to the bottom of the profile, Click Apply
•
If the server is off, power it back on, the view the server from the iLO or OA consoles and not the
additional NICs
Defining a Server Profile via CLI
The following command(s) can be copied and pasted into an SSH based CLI session with Virtual Connect
# Provision and configure TWO additional NICs for Profile Server-1, Set speed to custom, 7.5Gb
add enet-connection Server-1 pxe=Disabled Network=PROD-B-1 SpeedType=Custom Speed=7500
add enet-connection Server-1 pxe=Disabled Network=PROD-B-2 SpeedType=Custom Speed=7500
Alternatively, not setting a Custom speed on the additional NICs would result in ALL NICs being
configured for 5Gb per NIC.
# Provision and configure TWO additional NICs for Profile Server-1 and leave the speeds set to the
default, all configured NICs would get an equal speed
add enet-connection Server-1 pxe=Disabled Network=PROD-B-1
add enet-connection Server-1 pxe=Disabled Network=PROD-B-2
Note: the script may run faster if the profile is not assigned to a server bay. Optionally, you could
un-assign the profile, make the changes, and then reassign the profile.
