So UCS version 2.1 has added feature to rename service profile<\/a> but what to do if you are running 2.0 or if you need to move service profile to different sub-organization?
\nHere are the steps you need to perform.
\nBefore performing rename\/move you’ll need to schedule maintenance window as during the procedure the blade will go down.<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. Open UCSM GUI and select Servers<\/strong> tab<\/li>\n
    2. Change Filter<\/strong> to Service Profiles<\/strong> or All<\/strong> so that service profiles are visible
      \nFrom this point all actions are performed on the original service profile(the one you want to rename\/move)<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Right click on the service profile you want to rename\/move and select Create a Clone
      \n<\/strong>      \"1\"<\/a>
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Enter the new name that you want to rename service profile to or if you are moving then enter the same name and change organization. Click OK<\/strong>. A clone should be created.
      \n      \"2\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

      <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Now shut down the server. Right click on service profile and choose\u00a0Shutdown Server.
        \n        \"3\"<\/a>
        \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
      2. Click OK<\/strong> in shutdown dialog box.
        \n        \"4\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      3. Once the server is powered off, disassociate service profile. Right click on service profile and choose\u00a0Disassociate Service Profile. <\/strong>Remember which blade it was associated with.
        \n        \"5\"<\/a>
        \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
      4. Confirm by Click Y<\/strong>es
        \n        \"6\"<\/a>
        \n<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n
      5. Now we need to copy unique id from old service profile to new one<\/li>\n
      6. Right click on original service profile and choose Change UUID
        \n        \"7\"<\/a>
        \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
      7. Copy the UUID<\/strong> that you see to Notepad and close the window.
        \n        \"8\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      8. Expand service profile and select vHBAs. <\/strong>On the right side click on Change World Wide Node Name.
        \n        \"10\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n
      9. Copy World Wide Node Name<\/strong> to Notepad and close the window.
        \n        \"11\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      10. Select the first vHBA and click Modify
        \n        \"13\"<\/a>
        \n<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n
      11. Copy WWPN\u00a0<\/strong> to Notepad also note which vHBA it is(vHBA-a, b etc). Close the window.
        \n        \"14\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      12. Do the same for the rest vHBAs copy all their WWPNs<\/strong>\u00a0 to notepad.<\/li>\n
      13. Select vNICs<\/strong> of the service profile. Select first vNIC<\/strong> and click Modify.
        \n        \"15\"<\/a>
        \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
      14. Copy MAC Address<\/strong>\u00a0to Notepad and mark which vNIC it is.\u00a0Close the window.
        \n        \"16\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      15. Do the same for the rest of the vNICs copy all their MAC addresses<\/strong> to notepad.<\/li>\n
      16. Once you have all the numbers you can delete the original service profile
        \nFrom here all the actions are performed on the new service profile that was created by cloning the original.<\/span><\/li>\n
      17. Select the new service profile<\/li>\n
      18. Change UUID for new service profile but this time you’ll see that it is set to\u00a0Hardware Default<\/strong> so you need to change it to\u00a0Manual Using OUI\u00a0<\/strong> and choose XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.\u00a0<\/strong>Now paste the UUID that you’ve copied earlier and click\u00a0OK<\/strong>.
        \n        \"8\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      19. Change the World Wide Node Name<\/strong> you’ll see that WWNN Assignment<\/strong> is set to\u00a0Select(pool default used by default). <\/strong>Change it to\u00a0Manual Using OUI<\/strong><\/strong>(choose appropriate format)\u00a0<\/strong>and paste\u00a0WWNN<\/strong> from Notepad.
        \n        \"11\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      20. Modify each vHBA. Change WWPN\u00a0Assignment\u00a0<\/strong>from Hardware Default <\/strong>to\u00a0Manual Using OUI<\/strong>(choose appropriate format) and paste WWNP<\/strong>\u00a0from Notepad.
        \n        \"14\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      21. Modify each vNIC.\u00a0Change\u00a0MAC Address\u00a0Assignment\u00a0<\/strong>from\u00a0Hardware Default\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0Manual Using OUI<\/strong>. Select 00:25B5:XX:XX:XX<\/strong> format and paste\u00a0MAC<\/strong>\u00a0from Notepad.
        \n        \"16\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      22. Associate service profile with the original blade
        \n        \"17\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      23. If no mistakes were made then blade should boot as before.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
