The new template is added to lists of command templates and becomes available for using

when configuring SPs. The following SP profiles do not need a template:

• IPMI SPs.

• SPs being configured only for Native IP access.

• SPs being configured only for DirectCommand access.

• DirectCommand Options: contains values to be used when DirectCommand is launched.

The DirectCommand feature allows transparent access to native TCP services on an SP,

such as a Virtual Media interface or a native KVM implementation. You may configure up

to 20 TCP service ports to set up port forwarding for DirectCommand.

When adding a new SP, an Admin user should follow the procedure under To find out if an

existing command template works with a new SP: on page 210to see if one of the default

command templates works with the new SP. If not, an Admin user can use the MergePoint SP

manager to either modify an existing user SP profile or create a new one.

To configure a new SP profile:

1. Click SP - SP Profiles.

2. In the User SP Profiles area, click Add.

not permitted.

NOTE: The SP template for the profile must be the same template used for the family you chose. New SP

templates that you create will appear here. For more information, see To use the sptemplate utility to create a new

template: on page 211
