If HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-port FC modules and HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC modules share the

In a multienclosure VC Domain, if there are mixed HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC modules and HP Virtual

To add a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group:
1. From the VC Domains page, select one or more VC Domains you want to add to the VC Domain Group.
2. Click Add to VC Domain Group.
(Optional) If the enclosures related to the selected VC Domains are not licensed to VCEM, then the
License page appears below the VC Domains list. For more information, see
Licensing an enclosure for
VCEM . Otherwise, the Add VC Domain to VCD Group appears below the VC Domains list.
3. (Optional) You can provide a new name for the unconfigured VC Domains. Valid VC Domain Group
names are alphanumeric, hyphens (-), underscore (_), and cannot exceed 64 characters.
4. Enter the username and password for each unconfigured VC Domain. Ensure you provide VC Domain
credentials with full privileges. VC Domains appear as:
•
Unconfigured domains, which appear in the System Name column with the unassigned name,
VCD_name
•
Configured domains, which appear in the System Name column with their previously assigned
name
5. Enter the username and password for the Onboard Administrator of each unconfigured VC Domain.
Ensure you provide the Onboard Administrator credentials with full privileges if the Virtual Connect
Module is not configured.

VC Domains. To enable this action, select Existing VC Domain configuration settings for selected
VC Domain(s) without server profiles will be overwritten by selected base VC Domain
configuration defined for the VC Domain Group
. In this case, VCEM validates that the selected VC
Domain configurations match the VC Domain Group configuration. VC Domains that are already
configured and have server profiles are not affected.
