domain. The primary and backup module bays in the primary enclosure must be populated with either HP
Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb or HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric modules.
The VC-FC modules and FlexFabric FC-configured ports do not support stacking. Connecting multiple
enclosures requires identical FC and FlexFabric module bay configuration in each enclosure. For more
information, see "FC and FlexFabric bay configuration using multiple enclosures (on page 27)."
Multi-enclosure double dense domains require similar and compatible FC modules in bays 5, 6, 7, and 8 in
all enclosures. If a multi-enclosure double dense configuration contains incompatible FC modules in bays 5,
6, 7, or 8 in either the local or remote enclosures, some or all of the compatible FC modules in the remote
enclosures might be designated INCOMPATIBLE after import.
To add additional enclosures to a domain, see the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide
on the Installing tab of the HP BladeSystem Technical Resources website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation).
FC and FlexFabric bay configuration using multiple enclosures
The VC-FC modules and FlexFabric FC-configured uplinks do not support stacking. To ensure server profile
mobility, the VC-FC and FlexFabric bay configurations must be identical for all enclosures in the domain.
