Creating a VC Domain Group
You can create a VC Domain Group by selecting the VC Domains that you want to include in the
new VC Domain Group.
IMPORTANT:
This VCEM operation does not provide a reference to the VC Domain from Systems
Insight Manager. To access this reference, you must correlate the Systems Insight Manager and
Virtual Connect logs. For more information, see
Correlating VCEM operations in Systems Insight
Manager and Virtual Connect logs
.
VCEM supports multienclosure VC Domains. A multienclosure VC Domain has one local enclosure
and up to three remote enclosures.
To manage multienclosure VC Domains in VCEM, you must perform the following steps before you
create a VC Domain Group:
1.
Log in to Virtual Connect Manager.
2.
Find and import a local enclosure, and then select the appropriate Double-dense option.
3.
Skip the Network and Fibre Channel configuration wizards, and then navigate directly to the
VC Domain user interface.
4.
From Virtual Connect Manager, find and import the necessary remote enclosures in the correct
order. For more information on remote enclosures, see the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class
BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide at
5.
From Systems Insight Manager, perform a manual discovery of the Onboard Administrator IP
address for all related VC Domain enclosures.
If you are using an HP VC FlexFabric 10 Gb 24-port module, ensure that the module status is
compatible. See
“Upgrading incompatible firmware modes and versions” (page 21)
for more
information.
VCEM cannot manage a VC Domain that has one or more FC modules with an Incompatible status.
