the minimum number of enclosures. The Ethernet uplinks define the minimum number of enclosures.
The enclosure with a defined Ethernet uplink port defines the minimum number of enclosures.
In this example, the minimum number of enclosures is two. The second enclosure is the last enclosure
that contains Ethernet uplink ports.
Figure 3-11 Valid configuration of Ethernet and Fibre Channel Virtual Connect modules
As in earlier versions of VCEM, all VC Domains within a VC Domain Group must have the same
hardware configuration. VCEM enables each enclosure within a VC Domain with multiple enclosures
to have a different Virtual Connect Ethernet module configuration, but it requires the same Virtual
Connect Ethernet Module configuration across the VC Domain Group members. The base enclosure
of every VC Domain within one VC Domain Group must have the same VC Ethernet module
configuration. Similarly, every VC Domain that has more than one enclosure must have the same
VC Ethernet module configuration in the second enclosure. The same rules apply to the third and
fourth enclosures.
The following figure illustrates a VC Domain Group containing VC Domains with different numbers
of enclosures.
