3. Enter the username and password for each VC Domain. Ensure you provide VC Domain credentials
will 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.
4. Enter the username and password for the Onboard Administrator of each unconfigured VC Domain.
Ensure that you provide the Onboard Administrator credentials with full privileges if the Virtual Connect
Module is not configured.
(Optional) In some cases you might wish to overwrite the existing VC Domain configuration for selected
VC Domains. To enable this action, select Existing VC Domain configuration settings for selected
VC Domain(s) without server profiles will be overridden by selected base VC Domain
configuration defined for the VC Domain Group
. 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.
5. Enter the VC Domain Group name in the VC Domain Group Name field. Valid VC Domain Group
names are alphanumeric, hyphens (-), underscore (_), and cannot exceed 64 characters.
6. From the Configuration based on VC Domain list, select the VC Domain configuration upon which the
new VC Domain Group is to be based. The Configuration VC Domain list contains only configured VC
Domains.
7. From the Select Serial Number type list, select whether the serial number type is a logical serial number
or factory default.
8. From the Select MAC range type list, select whether the MAC address range type is VCEM-defined,
user-defined, or factory-default. You can only select the user-defined option for MAC range type if a
MAC custom range is defined.
9. From the Select WWN range type list, select whether the WWN address range type is VCEM-defined,
user-defined, or factory-default. You can only select the user-defined option for WWN range type if a
WWN custom range is defined.
NOTE: After upgrading from VCEM 1.20 or 1.3x to VCEM 6.0, VC Domain Groups that were using
HP-predefined ranges for MAC and WWN addresses will start using VCEM-defined ranges for new
server profiles. VCEM 6.0 and later do not use HP-predefined ranges for MAC and WWN addresses.
