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.

Resetting the UUID Assigned to a Service Profile from a Pool in a Service Profile Template
If you change the UUID suffix pool assigned to an updating service profile template, Cisco UCS Manager
does not change the UUID assigned to a service profile created with that template. If you want Cisco UCS
Manager to assign a UUID from the newly assigned pool to the service profile, and therefore to the associated
server, you must reset the UUID. You can only reset the UUID assigned to a service profile and its associated
server under the following circumstances:
• The service profile was created from an updating service profile template and includes a UUID assigned
from a UUID suffix pool.
• The UUID suffix pool name is specified in the service profile. For example, the pool name is not empty.
• The UUID value is not 0, and is therefore not derived from the server hardware.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the Servers tab.
Step 2
On the Servers tab, expand Servers > Service Profiles.
Step 3
Expand the node for the organization that contains the service profile for which you want to reset the UUID.
If the system does not include multitenancy, expand the root node.
