VC Profile Failover
• When you initiate a VC Profile Failover operation, VCEM does not check the compatibility of
the physical connections of the target server. The VC Profile Failover operation automatically
selects an available spare server of the same type and assigns the profile, but assumes that
the correct physical connections are already in place.
• When a Failover is executed, HP SIM may not update the servers information. To resolve this
issue, run a manual HP SIM discovery of the affected systems.
Profile operations fail, and the error message "An invalid boot LUN was
entered. Check the storage arrays for the proper LUN number" appears
VCEM requires the boot target LUN configuration and server profiles to be either a 3-digit decimal
between 0-255, or a 16-digit hexadecimal between 0 and FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
This message appears whenever a profile move or failover operation is performed with a server
profile that has a boot LUN that fails to comply with the conditions stated here. This situation can
happen when you create a server profile in Virtual Connect Manager, and then try to manage it
with VCEM.
To resolve this issue:
1. Select the VCEM Server Profiles tab.
2. Select the server profile that is presenting the problem.
3. Click Edit.
4. In the boot target configurations table, change all the target LUN fields to be within the allowed
ranges (either a 3-digit decimal between 0-255, or a 16-digit hexadecimal between 0 and
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF).
5. Click OK.
6. Monitor the job progress until it is complete.
After the operation completes, you can perform move and failover operations on the server profile.
Error popup appears when you select HP predefined ranges during remove
VC Domain from group or delete VC Domain Group operations
Using the web browser in the Japanese language causes an error popup to appear when you
select a HP Pre-defined range to be used by a VC Domain that is being removed from a VC Domain
Group.
To resolve the issue:
1. Clear the Use Pre-defined range checkbox.
2. Enter the From and To values for the desired range in the text boxes.
3. Click OK. Wait until the process completes.
Unable to complete or cancel VC Domain Maintenance after enabling
Expanded VLAN Capacity in VC Domain
VCEM 6.3.1 is able to manage VC Domains with Expanded VLAN capacity (Extended Mapped
VLAN) enabled, but Virtual Connect Manager implemented with firmware version 3.3x or later
does not allow you to easily revert back from Expanded VLAN capacity mode to Legacy capacity
mode.
Before applying Expanded VLAN capacity to a VC Domain 3.3x or later during Maintenance
Mode, make sure the VC Domain Group that the VC Domain belongs to is running firmware mode
3.3x or higher (this is a VCEM rule). If you change a VC Domain 3.3x to Expanded VLAN Capacity
and the Virtual Connect Domain Group firmware mode is lower than 3.3x, the Complete
Maintenance Mode operation will fail, because VCEM will detect an enabled feature (Expanded
