Deleting WWN exclusion ranges
1. From the VCEM home page, under the Administration heading, click the World Wide Names
hyperlink.
2. From the Select ranges to configure list, select WWN.
3. Select a WWN address range. The exclusion range must be contained within the address
range to which the exclusion range belongs.
IMPORTANT: After upgrading to VCEM 1.4x or later, HP recommends that you delete any
exclusion ranges for HP predefined MAC and WWN addresses.
4. Click Delete. You are prompted to confirm your choice.
IMPORTANT: If the exclusion range includes external addresses, these external addresses
remain external, even if the exclusion range is removed.
To avoid conflicts, ensure all addresses within this range are not being used by any other
Fibre Channel device on your network.
Reclaiming external WWN addresses
External WWN addresses are generated when a VC Domain containing server profiles is removed
from a VC Domain Group configured to use User-Defined WWN address ranges. Because every
server profile contains one or more WWN addresses associated with it, VCEM identifies these
addresses as external. Addresses identified as external are reserved for VC Domains outside of
VCEM and will not be used by VCEM.
To change the status of an address from External to Free, use the Reclaim External button. Before
freeing an address, verify that the address is no longer used by a VC Domain outside of VCEM.
To reclaim WWN addresses:
1. From the Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager home page, under the Administration heading,
click the World Wide Names hyperlink.
2. From the Select ranges to configure list, select WWN. The WWN Ranges List page appears.
3. Select a WWN address range.
4. Click the Individual addresses tab.
5. From the Filter list, select External.
6. Select the external addresses.
7. Click Reclaim External. You are prompted to confirm your choices.
8. Click OK.
Adding custom WWN address ranges
Because the maximum range size is 131,072, a large range might take a few minutes to create.
You can create one custom range.
To add WWN custom address ranges:
1. From the Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager home page, under the Administration heading,
click the World Wide Names hyperlink.
2. From the Select ranges to configure link, select WWN.
