Creating a server configuration profile

Use the Server Configuration Manager to create a profile that includes configuration settings for service processors in xSeries® and Netfinity® servers. You can also reserve IP addresses for service processors.

To create a server configuration profile, complete the following steps:
  1. In IBM Director Console, click Tasks > Management Processor Assistant > Server Configuration Manager > Open.
    Note: If you are creating the profile for a specific server, you can first select the server in the Group Contents pane. The configuration options are filtered for the selected hardware.
  2. In the Quick Start window, click the Create a new profile icon.
  3. In the Profile Parameters window, select the type of chassis that you are using, and type a name for the new profile.
  4. Click OK.
  5. In the Select Components window, select the check boxes next to the components that you want to include in the profile.
  6. Click OK.
  7. In the Configuration Manager Editor window, click a component to configure its settings.
  8. After you have configured the settings for each component of the chassis, click File > Save Profile.
You can access the profile in IBM Director Console, by clicking Tasks > Management Processor Assistant > Server Configuration Manager > New Profile. New Profile is the name you assigned the profile in the Configuration Manager Editor.
