Software Owner manual

The FC module can become incompatible in the following situations:
• An HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC module replaces an HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC
module.
• An HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC module replaces a HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC
module.
• HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC modules and HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC modules share
the same I/O bay slice (for example, an HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC module in I/O Bay 3,
and an HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC module in I/O Bay 4.).
• In a multienclosure VC Domain, if there are both HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC modules and
HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC modules in the same I/O bay from different enclosures,
(for example, 4 FC modules in the local enclosures, and 8 Gb FC modules in the remote
enclosures).
If you are using the HP VC FlexFabric 10 Gb 24-port module, ensure that the module status is
compatible.
To add a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group:
1. From the VC Domains page, select one or more VC Domains you want to add to the VC
Domain Group.
2. Click Add to VC Domain Group.
(Optional) If the enclosures related to the selected VC Domains are not licensed for VCEM,
then the License page appears below the VC Domains list. For more information, see “VCEM
licensing” (page 42). Otherwise, the Add VC Domain to VCD Group appears below the VC
Domains list.
3. (Optional) You can provide a new name for the unconfigured VC Domains. Valid VC Domain
System names can contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), dot (.), underscores (_), and
cannot exceed 31 characters.
4. Enter the user name and password for each unconfigured VC Domain. Ensure you provide
VC Domain credentials with full privileges. VC Domains appear as:
• Unconfigured domains, which appear in the System Name column with the unassigned
name, VCD_name
• Configured domains, which appear in the System Name column with their previously
assigned name
5. Enter the user name and password for the Onboard Administrator of each unconfigured VC
Domain. Ensure you provide the Onboard Administrator credentials with full privileges if the
VC module is not configured.
6. (Optional) In some cases you might want to overwrite the existing VC Domain configuration
for selected VC Domains. To do this, select Existing VC Domain configuration settings for
selected VC Domain(s) without server profiles will be overwritten by selected base VC Domain
configuration defined for the VC Domain Group. In this case, VCEM validates that the selected
VC Domain configurations match the VC Domain Group configuration. VC Domains that are
already configured and have server profiles are not affected.
7. Select the VC Domain Group name to which you want to add the selected VC Domains.
8. Click OK. The Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is executing the request
message appears.
9. Click OK to go to the Jobs page and monitor job progress.
