Figure 3-9 Valid configuration of Ethernet and Fibre Channel Virtual Connect modules
As in earlier versions of VCEM, all VC Domains within a VC Domain Group must have the same hardware
configuration. VCEM enables each enclosure within a VC Domain with multiple enclosures to have a different
Virtual Connect Ethernet module configuration, but it requires the same Virtual Connect Ethernet Module
configuration across the VC Domain Group members. The base enclosure of every VC Domain within one
VC Domain Group must have the same VC Ethernet module configuration. Similarly, every VC Domain that
has more than one enclosure must have the same VC Ethernet module configuration in the second enclosure.
The same rules apply to the third and fourth enclosures.
The following figure illustrates a VC Domain Group containing VC Domains with different numbers of
enclosures.
