HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.1 User Guide

4. Perform the following actions for each VC Domain that uses HP-predefined or user-defined ranges within
the VC Domain Group that you want to remove. Factory-default MAC and WWN ranges are released
back to Virtual Connect Manager as Factory-default.
If factory-default MAC or WWN addresses or serial numbers are not being used, address ranges must
be specified for each removed VC Domain. These address ranges must be unique and distinct to prevent
assignment of duplicate addresses. Each selected MAC and WWN address range must also be recorded
as an exclusion range to prevent assignment by VCEM. VCEM manages a proprietary serial number
range, so there is no need to define an external range or serial number. The selected HP-predefined
ranges are identified as a user-defined ranges by the Virtual Connect Manager after the VC Domain is
removed from VCEM.
The selected HP-predefined ranges are identified as a user-defined range for the Virtual Connect Manager
after the VCEM Domain is removed from VCEM.
a. Enter the MAC address range.
To use an HP-predefined MAC range, from the MAC range section, select the Use HP Pre-Defined
range box, and then select a range from the list.
You can also clear the Use HP Pre-Defined range box and then enter the start and end addresses
for the MAC range. Valid MAC address range is NN-NN-NN-NN-NN-NN where N is a
hexadecimal digit (0-F) and cannot exceed 12 characters. The VC Domain configuration applies
this MAC address range after being removed from VCEM control.
b. Enter the WWN address range.
To use an HP-predefined WWN range, from the WWN Range section, select the Use HP
Pre-Defined range box, and then select a range from the list.
You can also clear the Use Pre-Defined range box and then enter the start and end addresses
for the WWN range. Valid WWN address range is NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN where
N is a hexadecimal digit (0-F) and cannot exceed 16 characters. The VC Domain configuration
applies this WWN address range after being removed from VCEM control.
c. Enter the serial number range.
To use an HP-predefined serial number range, from the serial number range section, select the Use
Pre-Defined range box, and then select a range from the list.
You can also clear the User Pre-Defined range box and then enter the start and end values for
the serial number range. Valid serial number range VCX01 NNNNN for user-defined or
VCX NNNNNNN for HP-predefined where N is a hexadecimal digit (0-F) and cannot exceed 10
characters. The VC Domain configuration applies this serial number address change after being
removed from VCEM control.

addresses, addresses, serial numbers, network connections, and Fibre Channel SAN connection range types.
