not started.

NOTE: There are two types of SP profiles: default SP profiles and user SP profiles. If you choose a user SP
profile, then you have to define a type for it.

down menu. The selected type must match the selected SP profile.

Added target devices are displayed in the Managed Targets list. When adding a BladeCenter target

are not added and are not available under the corresponding chassis in the main Unit Overview
window. If you want to add blades now, you must change the verification status and then click the
Resync button.
The settings of a target device can be modified on the Properties page of the target device. For more
information, see Changing target device parameters on page 52.
NOTE: When a target device with a directcommnd-only SP profile is added to the MergePoint SP manager, a
username and password is not required. In this case, you are not permitted to edit username and password
related settings or require target device verification.
