Remove from VC Domain Group job is successful but with errors

Occasionally, when successfully performing a remove from VC Domain Group job, an error might appear
in the job detail. The error is related to VCEM being unable to:

Release control over the MAC and WWN address pools, or serial number range.

Remove external manager.

To correct the issue related to removal of external manager or unable to release control of MAC, WWN,
and serial number ranges, perform the following:

1.

Telnet in to the Virtual Connect Manager using an SSH connection such as
SSH Administrator@

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the VC Domain IP address.

2.

To determine the username of the external manager account, from the Virtual Connect Manager command
prompt, enter show external-manager. For this example, assume the username returned was xyz.

3.

To disable the account, from the Virtual Connect Manager command prompt, enter

set external-manager Username=xyz Enabled=false

.

If VC firmware is 2.0x, perform the following:

To remove the account and release the VC Domain from VCEM control, from the Virtual Connect Manager
command prompt, enter

remove external-manager Username=xyz mactype=

MacStart=<> MacEnd=<> wwnType= WwnStart=<>

WwnEnd=<> serverIdType= serverIdStart=<>

serverIdEnd=<>

NOTE:

“-quiet” is an option to suppress user confirmation prompts. This option is useful for scripting

operations. This option is available for VC firmware 2.0x for the disable account, remove the account,
and release ranges commands.
