7. (Optional) Use the following procedure to configure the World Wide Names ranges to meet
your requirements.
NOTE: It is optional to set up a user-defined range in VCEM. This is only required if you are
managing VC Domains which use special user-defined WWNs.
a. Click Home from the VCEM home page. To return to the home page in a stand-alone
VCEM installation, click the Home link on the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
b. Click the World Wide Names hyperlink.
c. To create a custom range, click Add custom.
The WWN range used by the VCEM Domain must be unique within the environment. HP
provides a set of predefined ranges that are reserved for use by Virtual Connect and
VCEM, and does not conflict with server factory-default WWNs
When using the HP-predefined WWN ranges, be sure that each range is used only once
within the environment.
For more information, see “Adding custom WWN address ranges” (page 107).
8. (Optional) Create WWN exclusion ranges. For more information, see “Creating WWN
exclusion ranges” (page 104).
NOTE: HP highly recommends using exclusion ranges in the following scenarios:
• When VC Domains are not VCEM controlled and are using other user-defined MAC or
WWN addresses that overlap with VCEM user-defined MAC or WWN ranges. For
example:
VCEM exclusion ranges need to be created for MAC or WWN addresses used by other
VC Domains.
• When installing multiple instances of VCEM in the same network. For example:
Exclusion ranges need to be created for VCEM-Defined MAC or WWN addresses.
9. Click the VC Domains tab. VC Domains appear as the following:
• Unconfigured VC Domains—Appear as VCD_name, where name is the temporary name
automatically given to the VC Domain.
• Configured VC Domains—Appear with the VC Domain name.
10. Select a VC Domain, and then click License to license the domain. For more information on
licensing, see “VCEM licensing” (page 41).
11. Create a new VC Domain Group, and then add one or more already licensed VC Domains
to it. For more information on creating a new VC Domain Group, see “Creating a VC Domain
Group” (page 42).
IMPORTANT: In a new environment when adding VC Domains to into the VC Domain Group
you must have one configured VC Domain. Any additional VC Domains can remain
non-configured as they are automatically configured by VCEM. For an environment with
existing already configured VC Domains, simply create a VC Domain Group for the VC
Domains.
You can continue using VCEM and its additional functions such as creating server profiles and
assigning them to bays.
VCEM uses a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection provided by HP System Insight Manager. For
more information about the available cipher suites and how to enable or disable them, see the
Understanding HP SIM security white paper at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/
management/hpsim/infolibrary.html.
VCEM uses the same TCP ports as HP SIM. VCEM does not open any other TCP ports.
