Page 1: Identifying the Service Profile Template
This procedure directly follows the steps in Creating a Service Profile Template, on page 518. It describes
how to set the identity of a service profile template on the Identify Service Profile Template page of the
Create Service Profile Template wizard.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Name field, enter a unique name that you can use to identify this service profile template.
This name can be between 2 and 32 alphanumeric characters. You cannot use spaces or any special characters
other than - (hyphen), _ (underscore), : (colon), and . (period), and this name must be unique across all service
profiles and service profile templates within the same organization.
This name must be unique within the organization or sub-organization in which you are creating the service
profile.
Step 2
In the Type field, click one of the following radio buttons:
• Initial Template—Any service profiles created from this template are not updated if the template
changes
• Updating Template—Any service profiles created from this template are updated if the template changes
Step 3
From the UUID Assignment drop-down list, choose one of the following:
DescriptionOption
Assigns a UUID from the default UUID Suffix pool.
Select (pool default used
by default)
Uses the UUID assigned to the server by the manufacturer.
If you choose this option, the UUID remains unassigned until the service profile
is associated with a server. At that point, the UUID is set to the UUID value
assigned to the server by the manufacturer. If the service profile is later moved
to a different server, the UUID is changed to match the new server.
Hardware Default
Assigns a UUID from the UUID Suffix pool that you select from the list at the
bottom of the drop-down list.
Each pool name is followed by two numbers in parentheses that show the
number of UUIDs still available in the pool and the total number of UUIDs in
the pool.

Step 4
(Optional) In the text box, enter a description of this service profile template.
A user-defined description of the service profile template.
Enter up to 256 characters. You can use any characters or spaces except ^ (carat), \ (backslash), > (greater
than), < (less than), ' (single quote), " (double quote), ` (accent mark), or = (equal sign).
