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.
