HP Insight Management-Software - Manual (Page 50)

• 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.)
Adding or removing remote enclosures from a multienclosure domain in VC Domain
Maintenance
NOTE: Adding enclosures that are not yet licensed in VCEM causes that VC Domain to be put
in Not Licensed status. You must either license or remove the newly added enclosure.
To add or remove remote enclosures:
1. Select the VC Domain that must be changed, and put it into maintenance mode.
2. Access Virtual Connect Manager.
3. Click Domain Settings
→Domain Enclosures.
4. Find and import the enclosures to be added, or delete the enclosures to be deleted.
5. From VCEM, confirm VC Domain Maintenance.
Canceling a VC Domain Maintenance task
Canceling a VC Domain Maintenance discards domain, network, and storage configuration
changes that you have performed until now, and returns the VC Domain to the configuration that
is shared by all VC Domains within a VC Domain Group.
IMPORTANT: For more information on the domain, network, and storage configurations that
VCEM can replicate during completion of VC Domain Maintenance, or discard in case of a failure
or cancellation of the VC Domain Maintenance operation, see
“Replicating VC Domain Group
configurations to other VC Domains during VC Domain Maintenance” (page 46) .
To cancel a VC Domain Maintenance from the VC Domain page:
1. Select the VC Domain with status under maintenance.
2. Click VC Domain Maintenance. The VC Domain Maintenance page appears.
3. Click Cancel. The Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is executing the
request
message is appears with a job ID code.
4. Click OK to go to the Jobs page and monitor job progress.
Resynchronizing a VC Domain with Configuration Mismatch
Resynchronize a VC Domain is a useful way to force VCEM to verify that the VC Domain is still
compatible with VC Domain Group configuration without removing and adding that VC Domain
to a VC Domain Group. The VC Domain configuration must comply with the same requirements
when you add a VC Domain into a VC Domain Group for the first time.
To resynchronize a VC Domain:
1. Go to the VC Domains tab.
2. Select the VC Domain with Configuration Mismatch status.
3. Click VC Domain Maintenance. A dialog box showing the VC Domain to be resynchronized
appears.
4. Click OK to confirm. The Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is executing
the request
message appears with a job ID code.
5. Click OK to go to the Jobs page and monitor job progress.
