Use Case 1: Import the First VC Domain into VCEM
After HP SIM initiates the device discovery, we can now focus on VCEM to manage the individual VC
domains. First, let’s import the first c7000 enclosure VC domain into VCEM.
This VC domain has an existing LAN/SAN configuration and a server profile already defined. VCEM will
import all these configurations into its domain group.
It is important to note that it is not necessary to have any server profiles defined in VCM. VCEM can
configure all server profiles from its centralized console. If you do have existing server profiles defined
currently, VCEM will import them. For LAN/SAN configuration, VCEM depends on VCM level to manage it
and will replicate all LAN/SAN configurations to the enclosures in the same domain group.
