For more information about performing an Systems Insight Manager discovery, see
the HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 User Guide.

(Optional) If you are installing VCEM as part of the HP Insight Management suite, access the
Insight managed system setup wizard after performing an Systems Insight Manager discovery
and complete the steps in the wizard. You can also run the Insight Managed System Setup
Wizard as part of the HP Insight Management suite in order to set up systems such as applying
VCEM licenses to systems you want to manage. For more information about the wizard, see
the HP Insight Management 7.0 Installation and Configuration Guide.
IMPORTANT:
VCEM 7.0 does not support VC firmware 1.3x , 1.2x or 2.0x. If you have
these versions of VC firmware, an incompatible firmware icon is displayed and VCEM may
prevent some VC Domain, VC Domain group, and server profile operations. You must upgrade
to at least 2.1x. See
“Upgrading incompatible firmware modes and versions” (page 20)
for
more information. While VCEM does not support these older firmware versions, both VCEM
and the HP Management System Software Wizard will not prevent you from licensing these
older firmware versions.
5.
(Optional) Configure the MAC addresses to match the needs in the data center.
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 MACs.
a.
Click Home from the VCEM home page. In a stand-alone VCEM installation, click Home
on the upper right-hand corner of the screen to return to the home page.
b.
Click the MAC Addresses hyperlink.
c.
Click Add custom to create a custom range.
The MAC address 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 MAC addresses.
When using the HP-predefined MAC address ranges, be sure that each range is used
only once within the environment.
For more information, see
“Managing MAC and WWN addresses” (page 101)
6.
(Optional) Create MAC exclusion ranges. For more information, see
