6. Reassign the server profiles or add the connections to the profiles, depending on what was done in step
1.
Possible errors
If the previous steps are not followed exactly, the newly inserted module might be set to the UNKNOWN or
INCOMPATIBLE state, depending on how the error state was reached. To correct this error:
1. Physically remove the module.
2. Insert the original module.
3. Ensure that all profiles have been unassigned.
4. Remove the module.
5. Verify that the module is removed from the GUI.
6. Insert the correct module type.
If the previous steps have been followed and the server is not connecting properly to the network, power
down the server, and then power it back up.
Upgrading to an HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric module from a
VC-FC module
Replacing any VC-FC module with an HP VC FlexFabric module:
1. Upgrade the VC domain firmware to the latest supported version. See "VC module supported
firmware."
2. Verify that the replacement will result in a good configuration. See "Multiple enclosure requirements (on
page
61 )."
3. Verify that the user has server and storage role permissions.
4. Remove any FC profile connections that are connected to the interconnect bays being upgraded by
deleting the connections from the profile.
5. If any FC SAN fabrics were created using uplinks from the interconnect bays being upgraded, delete
these FC SAN fabrics from the Virtual Connect domain.
6. Physically remove the existing modules from both horizontally adjacent bays.
7. Ensure that the VC-FC modules are no longer shown in the domain.
8. Replace the server blade FC HBA mezzanine cards with FlexFabric Adapter mezzanine cards.
9. Install the HP VC FlexFabric Modules with the appropriate FC SFP+ transceivers.
10. Recreate the previously deleted FC SAN fabrics.
11. Add FCoE connections to the profiles.
12. Power up the server and install the appropriate drivers for the FlexFabric Adapter mezzanine card.
Onboard Administrator modules
Replacing the OA in an enclosure containing only one OA causes the OA to leave VC mode. This mode
change requires VC Manager to re-establish credentials with the OA. During this process, VC Manager
rewrites all server settings and sets the state of the servers to "profile recovered." There should not be any
disruption to the servers, but the administrator should be sure that all servers have the correct MAC addresses
and WWNs. Powering off the server clears the "profile recovered" state. If any servers are rebooted or
