HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Version 3.30 User Guide

Virtual Connect domains 20
CAUTION: Deleting a domain returns all settings to factory default. This action cannot be
undone.
1. Power off all servers that are associated with profiles. See "Server Bay Status screen (on page 199)."
2. Navigate to the Domain Settings (Configuration) screen (on page 19).
3. Click Delete Domain. A domain name verification window is displayed.
4. Enter the name of the domain to be deleted. This should be the name of the domain you are currently
logged into, displayed in the Virtual Connect Domain Name box on the Domain Settings
(Configuration) screen (on page 19).
5. Click OK.
If deleting a domain that was using MAC addresses predefined by HP, the administrator should also update
the "Teaming" driver configuration file on the host OS. Otherwise, the driver reinitializes to the saved MAC
address predefined by HP and not the factory default value.
When a VCM domain is deleted, VCM resets VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Modules to a factory default condition.
This operation can take up to 50 seconds per VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module.
Domain Settings (IP Address) screen
Use this screen to set a domain IP address for the Virtual Connect domain. This IP address is then consistent,
regardless of which module is primary within the domain.
The optional domain IP address setting allows for a consistent IP address that is independent of the
interconnect module on which it is running. If set, this IP address must be unique within the network and must
be different than the IP address of the module itself. If this IP address is not set, the VC Manager can still be
reached through the IP address of the host VC-Enet module.
To use an optional domain IP address, select the Use Domain IP address checkbox, and then enter the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
NOTE: Even if a domain IP address is provided, the normal IP address assigned to the
interconnect bay can still be used.
