Source resource validations—VCEM performs the following source resource validations:
•
Ensures that if the source server profile is assigned to a server, that the server is powered
off before the export operation.
NOTE:
If the source server is not powered off, you must power it off and perform the
export operation again.
•
Confirms that the source VC Domain Group that the server profile belongs to has a status
of Configuration in synch. Server profiles belonging to a VC Domain Group with other
statuses such as the following list cannot be exported:
◦
Under maintenance
◦
Expired license
◦
Incompatible firmware mode
If any of the
conditions are not attained, the prevalidation window (
) displays an error for this step.
2.
Target resource validations—VCEM performs the following target resource validations:
•
If the target device bay selected contains a server then the server must be powered off
before the export operation can be performed.
NOTE:
If the target server is not powered off, you must power it off and perform the
export operation again.
•
Ensures that the target bay device does not have a server profile assignment.
•
Confirms that the target VC Domain Group that the server profile will be exported to has
a status of Configuration in synch. VC Domain Groups with other statuses such as the
following list cannot receive exported server profiles:
◦
Under maintenance
◦

profile contains iSCSI connections
•
Ensures that the target VC Domain Group supports FC connections If the server profile
contains them.
