Deleting a domain
CAUTION: Deleting a domain returns all settings to factory default. This action cannot be
undone.
1. Power off all servers that are associated with profiles. See "Server Bay Status screen (on page 265 )."
2. Navigate to the Domain Settings (Configuration) screen (on page 22 ).
3. Click Delete. A domain name confirmation window is displayed.
4. Enter the name of the domain to be deleted. This should be the name of the domain you are currently
logged into, displayed in the Virtual Connect Domain Name box on the Domain Settings
(Configuration) screen (on page 22 ).
5. Click OK.
If deleting a domain that was using MAC addresses predefined by HP, the administrator should also update
the "Teaming" driver configuration file on the host OS. Otherwise, the driver reinitializes to the saved MAC
address predefined by HP and not the factory default value.
When a VCM domain is deleted, VCM resets VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Modules to a factory default condition.
This operation can take up to 50 seconds per VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module.
Auto-deployment
The auto-deployment feature allows for the configuration of a VC domain from a centralized location using
DHCP and TFTP to access the configuration script. Auto-deployment is supported only for single-enclosure
domains.

22 ) allows
you to do the following:
• Enable or disable auto-deployment.

• Start or stop a deployment.
IMPORTANT: Auto-deployment is not supported with an IPv6-only management network
environment.

dialog box.
