3. Click Remove from VC Domain Group. Wait for the job to complete successfully.
4. Follow the steps described in the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide at
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class-tech-installing.html for
your specific replacement scenario.
CAUTION: If a VC firmware update is required for the scenarios below then make sure that
you select a VC firmware version supported by the VCEM version. See “Understanding VCEM
and VC firmware version compatibility” (page 17) for more details regarding supported VC
firmware versions.
IMPORTANT: If you already have a VC Domain Group that meets minimum requirements
to add the VC Domain with replaced VC modules, you can omit the VC Domain recreation
steps described in the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide at http://
h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class-tech-installing.html.
IMPORTANT: Omit the server profile and connections reassignment steps described in the
HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide. Instead, use VCEM to reassign the
server profiles, then reassign the networks and fabrics to the connections using the information
in the CSV export created earlier in the process as a reference.
The following are examples of the current replacement scenarios:
• Replacing a VC Ethernet module with an HP VC Flex-10 module or HP FlexFabric module
in a horizontally adjacent bay pair hosting VC Manager (the horizontal bays housing
primary and/or backup modules)
• Replacing a VC Ethernet module with an HP VC Flex-10 module or HP FlexFabric module
in a horizontally adjacent bay pair not hosting VC Manager
• Replacing an HP VC Flex-10 module or HP FlexFabric module with a VC Ethernet module
in a horizontally adjacent bay pair hosting VC Manager (the horizontal bays housing
primary and/or backup modules)
• Replacing an HP VC Flex-10 module or HP FlexFabric module with a VC Ethernet module
in a horizontally adjacent bay pair not hosting VC Manager
5. Perform the following steps if the scenario is to replace a VC module in a horizontally adjacent
bay pair hosting VC Manager:
a. Access the Onboard Administrator web interface for the enclosure to verify that the VC
Domain link in the bottom left portion of the screen correctly points to the VC Domain
Manager IP address.
b. Perform a Systems Insight Manager discovery against the Onboard Administrator IP
address.
6. Click the VC Domains tab from the VCEM home page.
7. Select the same VC Domain, and click Add to VC Domain Group if there is an existing VC
Domain Group which meets minimum requirements. For more information, see “Adding a VC
Domain to a VC Domain Group” (page 50). Otherwise, click New VC Domain Group. Wait
for the job to complete successfully.
