HP 1.10GB Virtual Connect Ethernet Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 176)

Hardware information screens 176
When adding VC interconnect modules to a VC managed enclosure, wait until the modules have been fully
integrated into the current domain before attempting to make configuration changes to the VC domain. These
changes include adding or editing networks, fabrics, profiles, and shared uplink sets. Verify that the domain
status is clear for the newly added interconnect module before making any changes to the configuration.
Modifying the configuration before the integration is complete can cause unexpected behavior such as
incorrect/invalid connections in a profile.
Special notes on Onboard Administrator removal and
replacement
Replacing the OA in an enclosure containing only one OA causes the OA to leave VC mode. This mode
change requires VC Manager to re-establish credentials with the OA. During this process, VC Manager
rewrites all server settings and sets the state of the servers to "profile recovered." There should not be any
disruption to the servers, but the administrator should be sure that all servers have the correct MAC addresses
and WWNs. Powering off the server clears the "profile recovered" state. If any servers are rebooted or
power-cycled while the credential recovery occurs, the MAC addresses and WWNs might be returned to the
factory default settings.
