Maintaining a VC Domain from the VC Domain Groups page
IMPORTANT:
Virtual Connect Manager 3.30 or later does not allow you to easily revert back
from Expanded VLAN capacity mode to Legacy capacity mode. To revert back to Legacy capacity
mode, you must delete the VC Domain in Virtual Connect Manager and then recreate it.
To perform VC Domain maintenance from the VC Domain Groups page:
1.
Select the VC Domain Group on which you want to perform maintenance.
2.
Click VC Domain Maintenance.
3.
Select the target VC Domain within the selected VC Domain Group which will be enabled for
maintenance, and click Next. The VC Domain Maintenance page appears.
4.
To unlock Virtual Connect Manager for domain, network, and storage changes, click Make
changes via VC Manager. Virtual Connect Manager web interface appears in a separate
browser window. The under maintenance status indicates that the VC Domain Group is
temporarily unlocked for domain network and storage.
5.
Using Virtual Connect Manager, log in with full user rights at VC Manager, perform the
necessary changes, and save the changes. VCEM blocks all operations related to the VC
Domain and to its respective VC Domain Group while the VC Domain is under VC Domain
Maintenance. Close the VC Manager web browser and return to the VC Domain Groups
page in VCEM. To confirm changes in VCEM, repeat steps 1 and 2.
6.
Click the Restore configuration check box to enable VCEM to automatically restore the original
VC Domain configuration in case changes cannot be applied to the VC Domain Group.
7.
Select from one of the following options:
•
Click Complete VC Domain Maintenance to apply the changes.
If VCEM detects that all VC Domains in the group have higher firmware versions than the
VC Domain Group, a warning similar to the following is displayed:
VCEM detected that in addition to completing the VC Domain
Maintenance process, the VC Domain Group firmware mode [{0}] can
be upgraded to [{1}]. Do you want to upgrade the VC Domain Group
firmware mode? Click 'Yes' to upgrade the VC Domain Group firmware
mode in addition to completing the VC Domain Maintenance
operation. Or click 'No' if you want to complete VC Domain
Maintenance operation at this time. You can manually upgrade the
