Service Profiles
Service profiles are the central concept of Cisco UCS. Each service profile serves a specific purpose: ensuring that the associated server hardware has the configuration required to support the applications it hosts. The service profile maintains configuration information about the server hardware, interfaces, fabric connectivity, and server and network identity.
Every active server must be associated with a service profile.

You can view a service profile by clicking the Service Profiles tab for a Cisco UCS Manager account. |

At any given time, each server can be associated with only one service profile. Similarly, each service profile can be associated with only one server at a time. |
After you associate a service profile with a server, the server is ready to have an operating system and applications installed, and you can use the service profile to review the configuration of the server. If the server associated with a service profile fails, the service profile does not automatically fail over to another server.
When a service profile is disassociated from a server, the identity and connectivity information for the server is reset to factory defaults.
For more information about service profiles, including the types of service profiles and guidelines for using them, see the Cisco UCS Manager configuration guides.
