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. Physically remove the module. Then, insert the correct
module type.
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.
• For more information on individual module requirements, see "Installation requirements" in the setup
and installation guide.

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.
The HP Virtual Connection Migration Guide technical white paper on the HP website
( http://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c03
885329 ) details a procedure for upgrading to newer Virtual Connect modules while maintaining
the same VC-managed identifiers.
1. Upgrade the VC domain firmware to the latest supported version. See "VC module supported firmware"
in the setup and installation guide.
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.
