Software Owner's manual

For CMS #2 , create two MAC and two WWN exclusion ranges for other VCEM-Defined addresses
in use:
• MAC1_Exclusion_Range is equal to 00-21-54-9B-00-00 to 00-21-54-9B-AA-AA
• MAC2_Exclusion_Range is equal to 00-21-54-9C-55-54 to 00-21-54-9C-FF-FF
• Exclusion_range_WWN_1 is equal to 50:01:43:80:02:A3:00:00 to
50:01:43:80:02:A3:AA:A9
• Exclusion_range_WWN_2 is equal to 50:01:43:80:02:A4:55:54 to 50:01:43:80:02:A4:FF:FF
For CMS #3, create one MAC and one WWN exclusion range for other VCEM-Defined addresses
in use:
• MAC_Exclusion_Range is equal to 00-21-54-9B-00-00 to 00-21-54-9C-55-53
• WWN_Exclusion_Range is equal to 50:01:43:80:02:A3:00:00 to 50:01:43:80:02:A4:55:53
Transferring managed VC domains from one VCEM instance to another
To transfer a managed VC Domain from one VCEM instance to another VCEM instance, use the
procedure in the following example where VC Domain A managed by VCEM at CMS#1 is
transferred to the VCEM instance at CMS#2:
1. At CMS#1, remove VC Domain A from the VCEM Virtual Connect Domain Group.
2. Deactivate (turn off) CMS#1 — this ensures only one VCEM instance will be using the same
range of addresses.
3. At CMS#2, go to the MAC address management page and remove the MAC exclusion range
identifying CMS#1 from the VCEM-Defined range (MAC1_Exclusion_Range).
4. At CMS#2, go to the WWN management page and remove the WWN exclusion range
identifying CMS#1 from the VCEM-Defined range (WWN1_Exclusion_Range).
5. At CMS#2, import VC Domain A into the VCEM Virtual Connect Domain Group.

Documentation Quick Link, then look in the White Papers section for the HP Matrix Operating
Environment Federated CMS Overview White Paper.
Consolidating multiple VCEM instances into a single VCEM instance
To consolidate multiple VCEM instances into a single VCEM instance, use the procedure in the
following example where a multi-CMS (or Federated HP IO) environment with 3 CMSs (CMS#1,
#2, and #3) running 3 VCEM instances (VC Domain A, B, and C), is consolidated into a single
VCEM instance running on CMS#2.
1. At CMS#1, remove VC Domain A from the VCEM Virtual Connect Domain Group.
2. Deactivate (turn off) CMS#1 — this ensures only one VCEM instance will be using the same
range of addresses.
3. At CMS#2, go to the MAC address management page and remove the MAC exclusion range
identifying CMS#1 from the VCEM-Defined range (MAC1_Exclusion_Range).
4. At CMS#2, go to the WWN management page and remove the WWN exclusion range
identifying CMS#1 from the VCEM-Defined range (WWN1_Exclusion_Range).
5. At CMS#2, import VC Domain A into the VCEM Virtual Connect Domain Group.
6. At CMS#3, remove VC Domain C from the VCEM Virtual Connect Domain Group.
7. Deactivate (turn off) CMS#3 — this ensures only one VCEM instance will be using the same
range of addresses.
8. At CMS#2, go to the MAC address management page and remove the MAC exclusion range
identifying CMS#3 from the VCEM-Defined range (MAC2_Exclusion_Range).
