range. This can result in splitting an existing VCEM WWN exclusion range into two or more
ranges.
For example if VCEM WWN exclusion range for subrange 1 is defined as
50:01:43:80:02:A3:00:00 to 50:01:43:80:02:A3:03:FF, and if WWNs in use by server
profiles are 50:01:43:80:02:A3:00:02, 00-21-5A-9B-00-03, 00-21-5A-9B-00-06, and
00-21-5A-9B-00-07 then you must redefine the VCEM WWN subrange 1 as displayed in
:

In the target CMS, import VC Domain A into the VC Domain Group. If the VC Domain A
configuration is not identical on the source and target VCEM instances then create a new VC
Domain Group with imported VC Domain A.

Consolidating multiple VCEM instances into a single VCEM instance
Use the following example scenario to transform multiple VCEM standalone instances (VCEM
subranges) into a single VCEM instance (big pool):
Consider that you have 3 central management systems (CMS), CMS#1 is using subrange #1,
CMS#2 is using subrange #2 and CMS#3 is using subrange #3, in a multi-CMS system or in the
Federated HP IO environment. You want CMS#2 to be the only CMS in a single VCEM instance.
1.
At CMS#1, remove the VC Domain A from the VCEM VC Domain Group.
2.
Power off CMS#1. This guarantees that no more than one VCEM instance is using that same
#01 subrange.
3.
At the CMS#2 target, browse to the MAC address management page and remove the MAC
exclusion range #01.
4.
At CMS#2, browse to the WWN management page and remove the exclusion range #01.
5.
At CMS#2, import VC Domain A into the VCEM VC Domain Group.
6.
At CMS#3, remove VC Domain C from VCEM VC Domain Group.
7.
Power off CMS#3. This guarantees that no more than one VCEM instance is using the same
#03 subrange.
8.
At the CMS#2 target, browse to the MAC address management page and remove the MAC
exclusion range #03.
9.
At CMS#2, browse to the WWN management page and remove exclusion range #03.
10. At CMS#2, import VC Domain C into the VCEM VC Domain Group.
11. At CMS#2, remove all other VCEM pre-defined subranges from the exclusion list. This returns
the available addresses into a single large pool.
