VC Domain Groups and VC Domain Management

At times the network port speed configured as 10 Gb on a VC Domain that supports 10 Gb
incorrectly displays as Auto on a VC Domain that does not support 10 Gb.

This situation occurs when the Virtual Connect Manager user interface on the VC Domain
without the SFP-SR connector displays the network speed as Auto.

The Auto value appears only on the Virtual Connect Manager user interface. When VCEM
attempts to capture the network configuration from VCM, the information returned is 10Gb
and not Auto.

To resolve this issue:
1.

Access the VCM user interface on the VC Domain that does not have the SFP-SR connector.

2.

Edit the network with the incorrectly labeled Auto port speed to use another port speed
value (for example, 1 Gb).

3.

Save the edits.

4.

Edit the network again, and set the port speed to Auto.

If, after performing data migration, you are running Virtual Connect Manager and try to access
a VCEM-managed VC Domain, the following error message appears:

VC Domain locked by Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager

address>.

To resolve this issue:
1.

Go to the CMS and invoke the MS-DOS command box.

2.

Change the directory to the \.

3.

Run either of the following CLI commands:

>vcem -updatevcmdesc

>vcem -uvcm

To validate that the problem has been corrected, browse to the VCMs that showed the incorrect
message to ensure that the correct message is displayed.

VCEM cannot manage a VC Domain that configures a Shared Uplink Set or Ethernet Network
with the following:

Connection mode set to Failover

More than one port with Port Role value set to Primary or no Port Role set to Primary

To resolve the issue, access VCM and set one port to be the primary.

VCEM cannot manage a VC Domain that configures an Ethernet Uplink Port with a
Speed/Duplex value as Disabled. VCEM always replicates the VC Domain configuration
with Speed/Duplex set to Auto.

However, VCEM does not prevent you from adding a VC Domain that configures an Ethernet
Uplink Port with a Speed/Duplex value as Disabled to a VC Domain Group.

VCEM fails to add a VC Domain that configures an Ethernet Uplink Port with a Speed/Duplex
value as Disabled to the same VC Domain Group to which it previously belonged.

To resolve the issue, perform the following steps after the Add to VC Domain Group job failure:
1.

Go to the VCM user interface.

2.

Select values for the Speed/Duplex of Ethernet Uplink Ports according to VC Domain
Group Ethernet Uplink Port values.
