4 Managing VC Domain groups
This section describes the management of Virtual Connect (VC) Domain Groups using VCEM.
A VC Domain consists of an HP BladeSystem enclosure, a set of associated Virtual Connect Ethernet
and Fibre Channel interconnect modules, and server blades that are managed together by a single
instance of Virtual Connect Manager. The VC Domain contains specified networks, server profiles,
and user accounts that simplify the setup and administration of server connections. Establishing a
VC Domain Group enables administrators to upgrade, replace, or move servers within their
enclosures without changes to the external LAN/SAN environments.
VCEM keeps unassigned server profiles at the VC Domain Group level.
With VCEM you can move and copy server profiles within a single VC Domain or between any
VC Domains within a VC Domain Group.
IMPORTANT: When a VC Domain is imported into VCEM and managed as part of a VC Domain
Group, all unassigned server profiles associated with the VC Domain become part of the VC
Domain Group. Any unassigned server profiles created through VCEM become part of the VC
Domain Group.
To access the VC Domain Groups page in VCEM, click the VC Domain Group tab. The VC Domain
Groups page appears.
