If HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-port FC modules and HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC modules share
the same I/O bay slice. (For example, a HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC module in I/O Bay 3
and a HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-port FC module in I/O Bay 4).
•
In a multienclosure VC Domain, if there are mixed HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC modules and
HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-port FC modules in the same I/O bay from different enclosures.
(For example, 4Gb FC modules in the local enclosure, but 8Gb FC modules in the remote
enclosures.)
If you are using the 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.
NOTE:
VC version 3.0x firmware only supports SAN fabrics using Dynamic distribution.
To add a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group:
1.
From the VC Domains page, select one or more VC Domains you want to add to the VC
Domain Group.
2.
Click Add to VC Domain Group.
(Optional) If the enclosures related to the selected VC Domains are not licensed to VCEM,
then the License page appears below the VC Domains list. For more information, see
. Otherwise, the Add VC Domain to VCD Group appears below
the VC Domains list.
3.
(Optional) You can provide a new name for the unconfigured VC Domains. Valid VC Domain
Group names are alphanumeric, hyphens (-), underscore (_), and cannot exceed 64 characters.
4.
Enter the user name and password for each unconfigured VC Domain. Ensure you provide
VC Domain credentials with full privileges. VC Domains appear as:
•
Unconfigured domains, which appear in the System Name column with the unassigned
name, VCD_name
•
Configured domains, which appear in the System Name column with their previously
assigned name
5.
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
Virtual Connect Module is not configured.
6.
(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
. In this case,
VCEM validates 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.
7.
Select the VC Domain Group name to which you want to add the selected VC Domains.
8.
Click OK. The Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is executing the request
message appears.
