Creating WWN exclusion ranges
VCEM requires that you define exclusion ranges for both MAC and WWN address ranges that
are in use by VC Domains outside VCEM management. Exclusion ranges are used to set aside
addresses that might be in use for other purposes within your data center. Excluded address ranges
are not assigned for use by VCEM.
1.
From the VCEM home page, under the Administration heading, click the World Wide Names
hyperlink.
2.
From the Select ranges to configure list, select WWN.
3.
Select a WWN address range. The exclusion range must be contained within the address
range to which the exclusion range belongs.
4.
Select the Exclusion ranges tab.
5.
To create the exclusion range, click New.
IMPORTANT:
External addresses that are included in a WWN exclusion range remain
external addresses. The status of an external address does not change if it is included in a
WWN exclusion range.
6.
Select a HP-predefined address range, or manually enter the address range to exclude.
Deleting WWN exclusion ranges
1.
From the VCEM home page, under the Administration heading, click the World Wide Names
hyperlink.
2.
From the Select ranges to configure list, select WWN.
3.
Select a WWN address range. The exclusion range must be contained within the address
range to which the exclusion range belongs.
4.
Click Delete. You are prompted to confirm your choice.
IMPORTANT:
If the exclusion range includes external addresses, these external addresses
remain external, even if the exclusion range is removed.
To avoid conflicts, ensure all addresses within this range are not being used by any other
Fibre Channel device on your network.
