Use Case 4: VLAN Change Automatic Replication Across Enclosures
Another benefit of VCEM is that users can make changes to LAN/SAN configurations across multiple
enclosures, like adding a new VLAN under network trunks. Instead of implementing the same changes in
VCMs one by one, users can make changes once in VCM and VCEM will replicate those changes to
other enclosures in the same domain group.
In this test, we’ll:
 In VCEM, put VC domain 1 into maintenance mode. (skip the screen capture as this is the same
procedure as the previous test)
 Add some VLANs under network trunks (SUS) in VC domain 1.
 Complete VCM maintenance mode (skip the screen capture as this is the same procedure as the
previous test)
 View the newly added VLAN is available in VCEM for the server profile, and view the newly
added VLAN under VC domain 2 to verify VCEM replication.
First let’s verify the existing LAN configuration in VC domain 1.
