4. From VCM, find and import the necessary remote enclosures in the correct order. For more
information on remote enclosures, see the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup
and Installation Guide.
5. Go to Systems Insight Manager and perform a manual discovery on Onboard Administrator
IP address of all related VC Domain enclosures.
If you are using the HP VC FlexFabric 10 Gb 24-port module, ensure that the module status is
compatible. If the module is incompatible, an error message appears.
VCEM cannot manage a VC Domain that has one or more FC modules in an incompatible state.
See “Working with HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem”
(page 72) for incompatibility information.
To create a VC Domain Group:
NOTE: At a minimum, the first VC Domain must have at least one network defined before it can
be used to create a VC Domain Group. It is easier to define networks and storage fabrics in the
VC Domain first before using it to create a VC Domain Group.
1. Select the VC Domain Groups tab.
2. Click New....
(Optional) If the enclosures related to the selected VC Domains are not licensed for VCEM,
then the License page appears below the VC Domain Group list. (For more information, see
“VCEM licensing” (page 42) Otherwise, the Create VC Domain Group frame appears below
the VC Domain Group list.
3. (Optional) You can provide a new name for the unconfigured VC Domains. Valid VC Domain
Group names are alphanumeric, hyphens (-), dot (.), underscores (_), and cannot exceed 64
characters.
4. Enter the user name and password for each VC Domain. Ensure you provide VC Domain
credentials will 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 that you provide the Onboard Administrator credentials with full privileges if
the VC module is not configured.
(Optional) In some cases you might wish to overwrite the existing VC Domain configuration
for selected VC Domains. To enable this action, select Existing VC Domain configuration
settings for selected VC Domain(s) without server profiles will be overridden by selected base
VC Domain configuration defined for the VC Domain Group. 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.
6. Enter the VC Domain Group name in the VC Domain Group Name field. Valid VC Domain
Group names are alphanumeric, hyphens (-), dot (.), underscores (_), and cannot exceed 64
characters.
7. From the Configuration based on VC Domain list, select the VC Domain configuration upon
which the new VC Domain Group is to be based. The Configuration VC Domain list contains
only configured VC Domains.
8. From the Select Serial Number type list, select whether the serial number type is a logical
serial number or factory default.
9. From the Select MAC range type list, select whether the MAC address range type is
VCEM-defined, user-defined, or factory-default. You can only select the user-defined option
for MAC range type if a MAC custom range is defined.
