HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.1 User Guide

requirements for adding a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group. For more information, see “Requirements or
adding a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group”.
Also, a VC Domain might fail to add to the VC Domain Group for the following reasons:
• Network issues
• Invalid IP address
• Insufficient credentials permission
• Another VCEM external manager exists
To correct this issue:
• Verify that you can ping from the command line of the VCEM server and log in the Virtual Connect
Manager using the browser.
• In a redundant environment, verify if the failover between an active and standby VC module occurs. If
so, wait until the failover completes and then perform rediscovery of Onboard Administrator associated
to the VC module.
• VCEM requires Virtual Connect Manager credentials with full privileges to communicate to Virtual
Connect Module.
• Access the Virtual Connect Manager CLI:
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.
1.
2. To determine the username of the external manager account, enter show external-manager
in the Virtual Connect Manager Command User Interface. The status of the external manager name
appears.
For more information, see the HP Virtual Connect Command Line Interface User Guide .
Unable to add an unconfigured VC Domain to a VC Domain Group
If you are unable to add an unconfigured server to a VC Domain Group, verify that the VC Domain meets
the requirements for adding a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group. For more information, see “Requirements
or adding a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group”.
VC Domain displays Configuration Mismatch status
If the VCEM data does not match the data from the VC Domain, then the Configuration Mismatch icon
appears. This might happen when either the user suspends the external manager lock and then modifies the
VC Domain, or adds or removes VC Modules from rear-enclosure interconnect bays.
To correct this issue, see “Resynchronizing a VC Domain with Configuration Mismatch”.
VC Domain displays Connectivity failure status
The Connectivity failure icon might appear if any of the following occur:
• Connection timeout, network problems, Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules physically not available, or
enclosure problem
• Virtual Connect Manager failover
• VC Domain firmware update
• Virtual Connect Ethernet Module IP address change.
To correct this issue, perform any of the following:
• Ethernet VC modules are not physically available anymore or there is a connection timeout or network
problems between VCEM and VC Ethernet modules.
To correct this issue, verify the Ethernet VC Modules are still available and that there are no
network-related issues with the Virtual Connect Manager. From the command line at the VCEM server,
ping the VC Domain IP.
