HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 7.0 User Guide

4. Enter the user name and password for each unconfigured VC Domain. Ensure you provide
VC Domain credentials with full privileges. VC Domains appear as:
• Unconfigured domains, which appear in the System Name column with the unassigned
name, VCD_name
• Configured domains, which appear in the System Name column with their previously
assigned name
5. Enter the user name and password for the Onboard Administrator of each unconfigured VC
Domain. Ensure you provide the Onboard Administrator credentials with full privileges if the
Virtual Connect Module is not configured.
6. (Optional) In some cases you might want to overwrite the existing VC Domain configuration
for selected VC Domains. To do this, select Existing VC Domain configuration settings for
selected VC Domain(s) without server profiles will be overwritten by selected base VC Domain
configuration defined for the VC Domain Group. In this case, VCEM validates that the selected
VC Domain configurations match the VC Domain Group configuration. VC Domains that are
already configured and have server profiles are not affected.
7. Select the VC Domain Group name to which you want to add the selected VC Domains.
8. Click OK. The Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is executing the request
message appears.
9. Click OK to go to the Jobs page and monitor job progress.
Removing a VC Domain from a VC Domain Group
IMPORTANT:
• If you remove the last VC Domain from a VC Domain Group, the unassigned server profiles
will be located in this VC Domain.
• VC firmware supports no more than 256 server profiles within the VC Domain. If this number
is exceeded, the Virtual Connect Manager can reset.
VCEM detects the presence of logical server managers or upper-level managers. When performing
a specific task, a dialog box appears explaining the impact of performing the task from outside
the logical server manager or upper-level manager.
IMPORTANT: VCEM has detected you may be using other products, such as
HP Matrix Operating Environment. Removing this VC Domain from its VC
Domain Group will make it and any Server Profiles in this VC Domain
unmanageable by this upper level manager. Type YES to proceed with this
operation.
To proceed, enter YES, and then click OK. (VCEM will not proceed if you cut and paste YES into
the field.)
MAC, WWN, and serial number ranges enable Virtual Connect Manager to manage the allocation
of new addresses when you release VC Domain control back to Virtual Connect Manager (such
as when you delete a VC Domain Group or remove the VC Domain from a VC Domain Group).
HP recommends that you provide MAC, WWN, and serial number ranges that are not being used
by VCEM or by any other VC Domain in your network.
You can click Remove from VCD Group only if the current selection contains VC Domains that
belong to VC Domain Groups.
After removing a VC Domain from a VC Domain Group, you can edit or change the existing server
profiles from the Virtual Connect Manager user interface. If you re-import the VC Domain into a
different VC Domain Group, perform the import operation in VCEM and also make any further
changes through VCEM.
