Follow the steps described in the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide at

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class-tech-installing.html

for

your specific replacement scenario.

CAUTION:

If a VC firmware update is required for the scenarios below then make sure that

you select a VC firmware version supported by the VCEM version. See

“Understanding VCEM

and VC firmware version compatibility” (page 17)

for more details regarding supported VC

firmware versions.

IMPORTANT:

If you already have a VC Domain Group that meets minimum requirements

to add the VC Domain with replaced VC modules, you can omit the VC Domain recreation
steps described in the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide at

http://

h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class-tech-installing.html

.

IMPORTANT:

Omit the server profile and connections reassignment steps described in the

HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide. Instead, use VCEM to reassign the
server profiles, then reassign the networks and fabrics to the connections using the information
in the CSV export created earlier in the process as a reference.
