Appendix: Using Virtual Connect with nPartitions 279

When the reconfiguration is done, the OA generates blade remove events for the first two blades, resulting

in VCM treating the AA partition as having been removed. Then the OA generates a blade add event for the
first blade that identifies it as a single-blade partition, and likewise for the second blade. No events (remove

or add) occur for the third and fourth blades because the C and D partitions are not affected by the

reconfiguration.
The profile assigned to the first bay is now shown as assigned to the A partition and is applied to the first
blade. The profile assigned to the second bay is now shown as assigned to the B partition and is applied to

that blade. There is no change in the profiles assigned to the third and fourth blades.
Example 3: Reconfiguration from ABCD to ABCC
The current profile assigned to the first bay is applied to the A partition, the profile assigned to the second bay

is applied to the B partition, the profile assigned to the third bay is applied to the C partition, and the profile
assigned to the fourth bay is applied to the D partition.
When the reconfiguration is done, the OA generates blade remove events for the third and fourth blades,

resulting in VCM treating the C and D partitions as having been removed. Then the OA generates blade add

events for the last two blades that identify those two blades as belonging to one partition (the CC partition).
The profile assigned to the third bay is now shown as assigned to the CC partition and is applied to the third

and fourth blades. The profile assigned to the fourth bay is now shown as covered and is not used. There is

no change in the profiles assigned to the first and second blades.
