To upgrade the HP 1/10 Gb VC-Enet module or the HP 1/10 Gb-Enet module to use the HP VC
Flex-10/10D module see sections
“Replacing VC Ethernet modules with FlexFabric modules in an
existing VCEM managed VC Domain” (page 75) or “Replacing VC Ethernet in interconnect bays
three to eight with FlexFabric in an existing VCEM managed VC Domain” (page 75) .
For more details on Migration from HP Virtual Connect 1/10 Ethernet Modules to HP Virtual

Using FlexFabric modules
This section describes scenarios to add or replace existing Ethernet and FC modules with FlexFabric
modules.
NOTE: For general information about replacing VC modules with or without removing the VC
Domain, see “Replacing VC modules” (page 175) .
Adding FlexFabric modules to an existing VCEM managed VC Domain
This scenario describes how to add two extra FlexFabric modules in an existing VC Domain with
Ethernet and FC modules. It also describes how to start using FlexFabric functionality in existing
or new server profiles.
1.
Remove the VC Domain from the existing VC Domain Group "A".
2. Upgrade the VC Domain firmware to the latest version for FlexFabric support.
3. Add the two FlexFabric modules in both horizontally adjacent bays with appropriate FC SFP+
transceivers.
4. Create new Ethernet networks and new FC SAN fabrics linked to the new FlexFabric module
uplink ports.
5. Create a new VC Domain Group using the latest version of VC firmware in VCEM with the
VC Domain HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10 Gb/24port module.
