server profiles, you must bring the VC Domain again to VCEM control and then update the server profile
through the VCEM profile editor.
Server profile edit operation fails when target server is powered on
If you edit a server profile in VCEM and add, remove, or change an Ethernet network connection, add,
remove, or change Fibre Channel SAN connections or change the server profile name, the edit server profile
job might fail with the following message in the job details:
Error during Edit server profile [Profile Name]. Details: This action could
not be performed because the server is powered on. Power down the server
associated with the Server Bay and retry the operation.
VCEM server profile editor does not prevent profile edit operations in case the target server is powered off.
However, the VCEM server profile edit job might fail depending on what profile changes each VC Domain
firmware version allows in case the target server is powered on.
VC Domain status is "Mismatch Configuration" after cancel VC Domain Maintenance operation
fails
This situation occurs when the server profiles from a VC Domain managed by VCEM have changed and do
not match the existing server profiles in the VCEM database. For example, restoring an old VC Domain
backup that has a different server profile form the current VC Domain in the VCEM database.
In such cases, VCEM changes the VC Domain status to "Mismatch Configuration," and the VC Domain
Group to, "Configuration in sync." To continue managing this VC Domain with VCEM, click VC Domain
Maintenance to resynchronize the VC Domain configuration and server profiles.
Server profile job completed with success but changes have not occurred
If a VC Domain is managed by VCEM, and Onboard Administrator is brought out of Virtual Connect Mode,
the following error message appears the next time you log in to Virtual Connect Manager:
The HP virtual connect has lost its login credentials for the HP Onboard
Administrator (OA). OA may have been replaced or reset to factory defaults.
To ensure proper operation, these credentials must be reestablished.
When the Onboard Administrator credentials are provided, an error message appears stating that the
credentials are not valid. This situation can occur when:
• Onboard Administrator is replaced or reset to factory default settings.
• The clear vcmmode command was executed in the Onboard Administrator command line interface.
• The VC Ethernet modules were temporarily replaced by another BladeSystem c-Class interconnect
module.
As a result, VCEM might display false job results such as, "Completed with success," even though the server
profile changes have not taken effect. The ability of VCEM to manage server profiles might also be affected
for:
• Creating an unsigned server profile
• Editing of an assigned server profile
• Assigning a server profile
• Deleting a server profile
• Unassigning a server profile
The following bay operations might also be affected:
• False information might be displayed for power status, the server model, and serial number
• Power buttons might not perform the expected operations
In addition, after logging in to the Virtual Connect Manager user interface, the following warning message
might appear:
