Server profile templates resource associations

Server profile templates help to monitor, flag, and update server profiles in HPE OneView.

A server profile template defines the source for the configuration of:

• Firmware versions

• Connections to Ethernet networks, Ethernet network sets, Fibre Channel networks, and iSCSI

• Local storage

• SAN storage

• Boot settings

• BIOS settings

• iLO settings

• Profile affinity

Relationship to other resources

A server profile template is associated with the following resource in the resource summary diagram:

• Zero or more Server Profiles resources.

• Zero or more connection resources.

• Exactly one Server Hardware Types resource.

• Zero or more volumes through volume attachments.

• Zero or more Storage Pools without volume templates. If a storage pool is using volume template, the storage pool is defined in the volume template.

• Exactly one Enclosure Groups resource.

  To enable portability of server profiles, a server profile is associated with an enclosure group resource instead of an enclosure resource. Because enclosures in the enclosure group are configured identically, you can assign a server profile to any appropriate server hardware, regardless of which enclosure and bay in the enclosure group contains that server hardware.
