Deleting a domain

CAUTION:

Deleting a domain returns all settings to factory default. This action cannot be

undone.

1.

Power off all servers that are associated with profiles. See "Server Bay Status screen (on page

257

)."

2.

Navigate to the Domain Settings (Configuration) screen (on page

23

).

3.

Click Delete. A domain name confirmation window is displayed.

4.

Enter the name of the domain to be deleted. This should be the name of the domain you are currently
logged into, displayed in the Virtual Connect Domain Name box on the Domain Settings

(Configuration) screen (on page

23

).

5.

Click OK.

If deleting a domain that was using MAC addresses predefined by HP, the administrator should also update
the "Teaming" driver configuration file on the host OS. Otherwise, the driver reinitializes to the saved MAC

address predefined by HP and not the factory default value.
When a VCM domain is deleted, VCM resets VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Modules to a factory default condition.

This operation can take up to 50 seconds per VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module.
