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

Open UCSM GUI and select Servers tab
Change Filter to Service Profiles or All so that service profiles are visible
From this point all actions are performed on the original service profile(the one you want to rename/move)
Right click on the service profile you want to rename/move and select Create a Clone
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. A clone should be created.
