Creating a server profile fails
Attempting to create a profile can fail if any of the following situations occur:
•
VCEM does not have enough free MAC or WWN addresses
•
Some MAC or WWN addresses are already being used by another server profile.
•
The MAC or WWN addresses in use by the VC domain are not defined as custom ranges in
VCEM.
To resolve this issue:
1.
Verify that VCEM has enough free MAC and WWN addresses.
2.
Verify that there are no MAC or WWN address conflicts for the VC domain to be added to
the VC domain group.
3.
Create MAC and WWN custom ranges, and then verify that the ranges contain the MAC
and WWN addresses from the server profiles defined in the VC domain that VCEM will
manage.
4.
Perform the operation again.
Server profile edit operation fails when the target server is powered on
The -set profile command can fail if the target server is powered on and the update attempts
to:
•
Add, remove, or change an Ethernet network connection.
•
Add, remove, or change Fibre Channel SAN connections.
An error message similar to the following appears in the job status:
Error during Edit server profile [Profile Name]. Details: This action
could not be performed because the server is powered on. Power down the server
associated with the Server Bay and retry the operation.
The -set profile command does not prevent profile edit operations if the target server is
powered off. However, the -set profile command can fail depending on what profile changes
each VC Domain firmware version allows when the target server is powered on.
Server profile job completed with success but changes have not occurred
If VCEM manages a VC domain, and the Onboard Administrator is brought out of Virtual Connect
Mode, the following error message appears the next time you log on to Virtual Connect Manager:
The HP virtual connect has lost its login credentials for the HP Onboard Administrator (OA).
OA may have been replaced or reset to factory defaults. To ensure proper operation, these credentials
must be reestablished
When the Onboard Administrator credentials are provided, an error message appears stating that
the credentials are not valid. This situation can occur when:
•
The Onboard Administrator has been replaced or reset to factory default settings.
•
The clear vcmmode command was executed in the Onboard Administrator CLI.
•
The VC Ethernet modules were temporarily replaced by another BladeSystem c-Class
interconnect module.
