HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-port Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 145)

Configuring the Virtual Connect domain using the CLI 145
• You can remove connections at any time (one at a time, from the bottom).
• If the existing profile connections do not match the current FC/FCoE module configurations, the add
operation is not allowed.
• The current maximum number of FC/FCoE connections is four per I/O bay.
The following table lists several scenarios that describe how adding FC/FCoE connections affects an existing
profile. The scenarios are true for FC module configurations and FC modules, as well as FCoE module
configurations and FCoE-capable modules.
Scenario Description Existing profile

1 Start with modules in Bays
3 and 4, create a profile,
then edit the profile and
add connections.

Add connection is
disallowed because the
current FC module
configurations do not
match the existing
connections in the
profile.
This profile is not useful
after the hotplug. To
resolve this issue, delete
connections 3 and 4,
save the profile, and then
scenario 3 applies.
5 Start with modules in Bays
3–6, create a profile,
hotplug modules into Bays
7 and 8, then edit the
profile and add
connections.
