Module removal and replacement

Beginning with VC v3.00, it is no longer necessary to administratively remove a module if the module is

not in use. If a module is not in use and is physically removed, it is automatically removed from the
domain.
However, if you are removing a module that is in interconnect bay 1 or bay 2 of the primary enclosure,
you must first delete the domain, and then recreate it after the module has been removed.
As a general rule, if a module has been configured and is in use by the domain, this module can only be

replaced with a module of the same type. For example, an HP 1/10Gb-F VC-Enet Module should be
replaced with another HP 1/10Gb-F VC-Enet Module only. However, the following group of modules are
compatible and can be used to replace another module in this list:

HP 4Gb VC FC module

HP VC 4Gb module (with enhanced NPIV)

HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC module

When replacing a module with a module of another type, do the following:

Remove all port assignments.
