Modifying Uplink Port IDs
The uplink port configuration may need to be modified by replacing the port numbers. Uplink ports for VC Fiber Channel
modules will not require modification, since the VC Fiber Channel modules are not being replaced. The port number changes
made to the example file from Appendix A are shown here. The uplink port section of the captured output is shown below..
add uplinkset UplinkSet_A ConnectionMode=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:1:1 UplinkSet=UplinkSet_A Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:1:2 UplinkSet=UplinkSet_A Speed=Auto
add uplinkset UplinkSet_B ConnectionMode=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:1 UplinkSet=UplinkSet_B Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:2 UplinkSet=UplinkSet_B Speed=Auto
add network VC-Tunnel -quiet NAGs=Default VLanTunnel=Enabled
add uplinkport enc0:1:3 Network=VC-Tunnel Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:1:4 Network=VC-Tunnel Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:3 Network=VC-Tunnel Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:4 Network=VC-Tunnel Speed=Auto
add network Backup-Network -quiet NAGs=Default VLanTunnel=Disabled
add uplinkport enc0:1:8 Network=Backup-Network Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:8 Network=Backup-Network Speed=Auto
The Flex-10/10D modules have uplink ports X1-X10. They have no fixed 1000BaseT RJ-45 ports and no 1000BaseX SFP
connectors. The values highlighted above must be remapped to valid, connected uplink ports on a Flex10/10D module.
After modification, the uplink port section of the script could look like the following:
add uplinkset UplinkSet_A ConnectionMode=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:1:X1 UplinkSet=UplinkSet_A Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:1:X2 UplinkSet=UplinkSet_A Speed=Auto
add uplinkset UplinkSet_B ConnectionMode=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:X1 UplinkSet=UplinkSet_B Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:X2 UplinkSet=UplinkSet_B Speed=Auto
add network VC-Tunnel -quiet NAGs=Default VLanTunnel=Enabled
add uplinkport enc0:1:X3 Network=VC-Tunnel Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:1:X4 Network=VC-Tunnel Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:X3 Network=VC-Tunnel Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:X4 Network=VC-Tunnel Speed=Auto
add network Backup-Network -quiet NAGs=Default VLanTunnel=Disabled
add uplinkport enc0:1:X10 Network=Backup-Network Speed=Auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:X10 Network=Backup-Network Speed=Auto
The actual port numbers will depend on where the physical LAN connections will be attached after the new VC modules are
installed.
Verifying Virtual MAC/WWN/Logical Serial Number Pools
If you are currently using Virtual Connect assigned MACs, WWNs or Logical Serial Numbers, the output of the script file will
set those for you automatically when run against the new domain hardware. The same pool number must be used if you
want the same MACs, WWNs, and ServerIDs used for server profiles. There are three lines in the SHOW CONFIG file that
indicate your pool numbers. Do not change these, or you will not be able to recreate your original profiles with the same
MAC, WWN and ServerIDs.
set serverid Type=VC-Defined PoolId=44 (Thissetsthevirtualserialnumberpool)
…
set domain MacType=VC-Defined MacPool=44 (ThissetsthevirtualMACAddresspool)
…
set domain WwnType=VC-Defined WwnPool=44 (ThissetsthevirtualWWNAddresspool)
Note: The WwnType command may not exist in your file if you do not have VC Fiber Channel modules present.
Modifying the Script to Migrate Existing Server Profiles
Since the SHOW CONFIG script output from VC v3.61 contains all of the server identifiers needed to recreate your profiles
exactly, there should be no modification needed on the profiles section when migrating to VC v4.20 or higher. Shown below
are all the commands used to create one profile – so you can see the process to do this.
add profile Profile_enc0_01 -NoDefaultEnetConn -NoDefaultFcConn -NoDefaultFcoeConn NAG=Default
SNType=Pool-Specified SerialNumber=VCX0001700
add enet-connection Profile_enc0_01 Network=VC-Tunnel PXE=UseBIOS AddressType=Pool-Specified
EthernetMac=00-17-A4-77-AC-00 iSCSIMac=00-17-A4-77-AC-01
add enet-connection Profile_enc0_01 Network=VC-Tunnel PXE=UseBIOS AddressType=Pool-Specified
EthernetMac=00-17-A4-77-AC-02 iSCSIMac=00-17-A4-77-AC-03
add fc-connection Profile_enc0_01 Fabric=Unassigned Speed=Auto AddressType=Pool-Specified
PortWWN=50:06:0B:00:00:C3:0E:00 NodeWWN=50:06:0B:00:00:C3:0E:01
