7. Ensure that the VC-FC modules are no longer shown in the domain.
8. Install the HP VC 8Gb 20-port FC Modules.
9. Re-create previously deleted FC SAN fabrics.
10. Re-assign the server profiles, and then add the FC connections to the profiles.
Possible errors
If the previous steps are not followed exactly, the module might be set to the UNKNOWN or INCOMPATIBLE
state depending on how the error state was reached. The module should be physically removed. Then, the
correct module type can be inserted.
If the previous steps have been followed and the server is not connecting properly to the network, power
down the server, and then power it back up.
Upgrading or removing an HP Virtual Connect Flex-10, HP Virtual
Connect FlexFabric, or HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D module
Upgrading an enclosure to Flex-10 or FlexFabric support or removing Flex-10 support requires several steps,
depending on the starting configuration.
Replacing a Virtual Connect Ethernet module with an HP Virtual Connect Flex-10, HP FlexFabric, or HP
Flex-10/10D module in a horizontally adjacent bay pair hosting VC Manager (the horizontal bays housing
primary and/or backup modules)
CAUTION: Replacing the primary/backup bay pair modules with modules of a different type
requires the creation of a new VC domain, creating the probability that VC managed identifiers
(MAC, WWN, and serial numbers) could be assigned to different server ports or slots from the
original VC domain.
1. If necessary, upgrade the VC domain firmware. (Minimum v3.15 or higher for an HP Virtual Connect
Flex-10 module or HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric module, and minimum v3.70 or higher required for an
HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D module).
2. Delete the domain.
3. Remove all network uplinks from the modules to be removed.
4. Remove the existing modules from both horizontally adjacent bays.
5. Install the HP Virtual Connect Flex-10, FlexFabric, or Flex-10/10D modules.
6. Import one or more enclosures and create a new VC domain. If available, a user-created CLI script file
can accelerate VC domain recreation. However, be sure to verify the settings, because VC-managed
identifiers, such as MAC, WWN, and serial numbers, might not match the original VC domain settings.
Replacing a Virtual Connect Ethernet module with an HP Virtual Connect Flex-10, HP FlexFabric, or HP
Flex-10/10D module in a horizontally adjacent bay pair not hosting VC Manager
1. If necessary, upgrade the VC domain firmware. (Minimum v3.15 or higher for an HP Virtual Connect
Flex-10 module or HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric module, and minimum v3.70 or higher required for an
HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D module).
2. Save the configuration.
3. If any Flex-10 NICs with profile connections are connected to the interconnect bays being upgraded,
the profile connections must be removed. To remove a profile connection, unassign the profile
(recommended) or delete the connection from the profile.
