# Update a server profile

To update a server profile, perform a `PUT` operation to reapply all of the server profile attributes. View the server profile attributes by using a `GET` operation, edit the attributes, and then perform a `PUT` operation using all of the attributes.

### Prerequisites

- Minimum required session ID privileges: Server administrator

- Added enclosure that includes a server blade without a server profile

Editing some server profile settings requires the server hardware to be powered off, while for others, the server hardware can remain powered on. You can edit the following settings with server hardware powered on:

- Profile name

- Profile description

- Requested bandwidth of an existing connection

- Changes between a network and network set of an existing connection

  | NOTE: You cannot change an existing connection between Ethernet (network or network set) and Fibre Channel networks. A Fibre Channel network can only be changed to another Fibre Channel network on the same interconnect.

Updating a server profile using REST APIs
Select the server profile URI. `GET /rest/server-profiles` Get the server profile using the URI from step 1. `PUT /rest/server-profiles/`{id}`` Edit the server profile. Update the server profile. `PUT /rest/server-profiles/`{id}``

| IMPORTANT: When you move a server profile to a different enclosure, if the profile is configured to boot from a Direct attach storage device, you must manually update the boot connection of the profile to specify the WWPN that is used for the storage device that is directly attached to the destination enclosure. Each enclosure connects to a different port of the Direct attach storage device, so the WWPN for that storage device is different for each enclosure. If you do not specify the correct WWPN and LUN for the device, the server does not successfully boot from that boot target.
