HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.1 User Guide

1. Install VCEM 6.1 in a fresh machine.
2. Break the external manager lock in all VC Domains that were previously managed by VCEM 1.20. To
remove the external manager account:
a. Telnet in to the Virtual Connect Manager using an SSH connection such as
SSH Administrator@ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx , where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the VC Domain IP address.
b. To determine the username of the external manager account, from the Virtual Connect Manager
command prompt, enter show external-manager. For this example, assume the user name
returned was xyz.
c. To disable the account, from the Virtual Connect Manager command prompt, enter
set external-manager Username=xyz Enabled=false.
1. To remove the account and release the VC Domain from VCEM control, from the Virtual Connect Manager
command prompt, enter
remove external-manager Username=xyz mactype=<Factory-Default/User-Defined>
MacStart=<> MacEnd=<> wwnType=<Factory-Default/User-Defined> WwnStart=<>
WwnEnd=<> serverIdType=<Factory-Default/User-Defined> serverIdStart=<>
serverIdEnd=<>
NOTE: “-quiet” is an option to suppress user confirmation prompts. This option is useful for scripting
operations. This option is available for VC firmware 1.3x and later for the disable account, remove the
account, and release ranges commands.
2. In HP SIM, perform a new discovery.
3. Add the same VCEM license keys you were using previously and license the VC Domains with the same
key.
NOTE: If the previous configuration used custom MAC, WWN, and Serial Number ranges, then add
the same ranges to the new setup before proceeding.
4. Create new VC Domain Groups mirroring the prefail configuration informing the currently working
credentials.
NOTE: Unassigned server profiles, external MAC and WWN addresses, and serial numbers are not
recovered with this procedure.
