Creating a VC Domain Group
You can create a VC Domain Group by selecting the VC Domains that you want to incorporate
into a new VC Domain Group.
IMPORTANT: This VCEM operation does not provide a reference to the VC Domain from Systems
Insight Manager. To access this reference, you must correlate the Systems Insight Manager and
Virtual Connect logs. For more information, see
“Correlating VCEM operations in Systems Insight
Manager and Virtual Connect logs” (page 58) .
VCEM supports multienclosure VC Domains. A multienclosure VC Domain is a VC Domain with
one local enclosure and up to three remote enclosures.
To manage multienclosure VC Domains in VCEM, you must perform the following steps before you
create a VC Domain Group:
1. Log in to Virtual Connect Manager.
2. Find and import a local enclosure, and then select the appropriate Double-dense option.
3. Skip the Network and Fibre Channel configuration wizards, and then navigate directly to the
VC Domain user interface.
4. Find and import the necessary remote enclosures in the correct order through Virtual Connect
Manager.
5. Go to Systems Insight Manager and perform a manual discovery for the Onboard Administrator
IP address of all released 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 24) for more
information.
VCEM cannot manage a VC Domain that has one or more FC modules in an Incompatible state.
The FC module can become incompatible in the following situations:
• An HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC module replaces an HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-port FC
module.
• An HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-port FC module replaces a HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC module.
