HP 1.10GB Virtual Connect Ethernet Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 211)

Virtual Connect modules 211
8. Install the HP VC 8Gb 20-port FC Modules.
9. Re-create previously deleted FC SAN fabrics.
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. The module should be physically removed. Then, the
correct module type can be inserted.
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 module or
HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric module
Upgrading an enclosure to Flex-10 or FlexFabric support or removing Flex-10 support requires several steps,
depending on the starting configuration.
Replacing a Virtual Connect Ethernet module with an HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 module or HP FlexFabric
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.
1. Upgrade the VC domain firmware to v3.15 or higher.
2. Delete the domain.
3. Remove all network uplinks from the modules to be removed.
4. Remove the existing non-Flex-10 or non-FlexFabric modules from both horizontally adjacent bays.
5. Install the HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 modules or FlexFabric 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.
Replacing a Virtual Connect Ethernet module with an HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 module or HP FlexFabric
module in a horizontally adjacent bay pair not hosting VC Manager
1. Upgrade the VC domain firmware to v3.15 or higher.
2. Save the configuration.
3. If any Flex-10 NICs with profile connections are connected to the interconnect bays being upgraded,
the profile connections must be removed. To remove a profile connection, unassign the profile
(recommended) or delete the connection from the profile.
4. Remove all network uplinks from the modules to be removed.
5. Remove the existing non-Flex-10 or non-FlexFabric modules from both horizontally adjacent bays.
6. Ensure that the modules are removed from the Virtual Connect GUI. If the modules still appear on the
GUI, there are still profiles with connections to the modules or networks with uplinks on the modules. Do
not proceed until the modules are removed.
