Skip the Network and Fibre Channel configuration wizards, and then navigate directly to the
VC Domain user interface.
4.
From VCM, find and import the necessary remote enclosures in the correct order. For more
information on remote enclosures, see the
5.
From Systems Insight Manager, perform a manual discovery of the Onboard Administrator IP
address for all related VC Domain enclosures.
If you are using an HP VC FlexFabric 10 Gb 24-port module, ensure that the module status is
compatible. See
“Upgrading incompatible firmware modes and versions” (page 28)
for more
information.
VCEM cannot manage a VC Domain that has one or more FC modules with an Incompatible status.
The FC module can become incompatible in the following situations:
•
An HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC module replaces an HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC
module.
•
An HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC module replaces a HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC
module.
•
If two VC modules from different models (like a Flex-10 or a FlexFabric module or an FC 4
Gb and an FC 8 Gb) share the same I/O bay slice.
•
If there are mixed VC FC 4 Gb and 8 Gb modules in the same I/O bay from different
enclosures in a multienclosure VC Domain.
To create a VC Domain Group from the VC Domains page, select the VC Domains:
NOTE:
At a minimum, the first VC Domain must have at least one network defined before it can
be used to create a VC Domain Group. It is easier to define networks and storage fabrics in the
VC Domain first before using it to create a VC Domain Group.
1.
Click New VC Domain Group.
(Optional) If the enclosures for the selected VC Domains are not licensed for VCEM, then the
License page appears below the VC Domains list. (For more information, see
.)
Otherwise, New VC Domain Group... appears below the VC Domains list.
(Optional) Provide a new group name for the unconfigured VC Domains. Valid VC Domain
Group names can contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), dot (.), and underscores (_),
and cannot exceed 64 characters.
2.
Enter the user name and password for each VC Domain. Provide VC Domain credentials with
full privileges. VC Domains appear as:
•
Unconfigured domains, which are listed in the System Name column with the unassigned
name, VCD_name
•
Configured domains, which are listed in the System Name column with their previously
assigned names
3.
Enter the user name and password for the Onboard Administrator of each unconfigured VC
Domain. Ensure you provide the Onboard Administrator credentials with full privileges if the
VC module is not configured.
(Optional) In some cases you might want to overwrite the existing VC Domain configuration
for selected VC Domains. To enable this action, select Existing VC Domain configuration
settings for selected VC Domain(s) without server profiles will be overwritten by selected base
VC Domain configuration defined for the VC Domain Group. VCEM confirms that the selected
VC Domain configurations match the VC Domain Group configuration. VC Domains that are
already configured and have server profiles are not affected.
