Server profile edit operation fails when target server is powered on
If you edit a server profile in VCEM and add, remove, or change an Ethernet network connection,
add, remove, or change Fibre Channel SAN connections or change the server profile name, the
edit server profile job might fail with the following message in the job details:
Error during Edit server profile [Profile Name]. Details: This action
could not be performed because the server is powered on. Power down the
server associated with the Server Bay and retry the operation.
VCEM server profile editor allows profile edit operations in case the target server is powered off.
However, the VCEM server profile edit job might fail depending on what profile changes each VC
Domain firmware version allows if the target server is powered on.
VC Domain status is "Mismatch Configuration" after cancel a VC Domain
Maintenance operation fails
This situation occurs when the server profiles from a VC Domain managed by VCEM have changed
and do not match the existing server profiles in the VCEM database. For example, restoring an
old VC Domain backup that has a different server profile from the current VC Domain in the VCEM
database.
In such cases, VCEM changes the VC Domain status to "Mismatch Configuration," and the VC
Domain Group to, "Configuration in sync." To continue managing this VC Domain with VCEM,
click VC Domain Maintenance to resynchronize the VC Domain configuration and server profiles.
Server profile job completed successfully but changes have not occurred
If a VC Domain is managed by VCEM, and Onboard Administrator is brought out of Virtual Connect
Mode, the following error message appears the next time you log in to Virtual Connect Manager:
The HP Virtual Connect has lost its login credentials for the HP Onboard
Administrator (OA). OA may have been replaced or reset to factory
defaults. To ensure proper operation, these credentials must be
reestablished.
When the Onboard Administrator credentials are provided, an error message appears stating that
the credentials are not valid. This situation can occur when:
•
Onboard Administrator is replaced or reset to factory default settings.
•
The clear vcmmode command was executed in the Onboard Administrator command line
interface.
•
The VC Ethernet modules were temporarily replaced by another BladeSystem c-Class
interconnect module.
As a result, VCEM might display incorrect job results such as, "Completed with success," even
though the server profile changes have not taken effect. The ability of VCEM to manage server
profiles might also be affected for:
•
Creating an unassigned server profile
•
Editing of an assigned server profile
•
Assigning a server profile
•
Deleting a server profile
•
Unassigning a server profile
The following bay operations might also be affected:
•
Incorrect information might be displayed for power status, the server model, and serial number
•
Power buttons might not perform the expected operations
