In a redundant environment, the failover between active and standby Virtual Connect module is taking
place.
To correct this issue:
1.
Verify that the failover between the active and standby Virtual Connect module is taking place.
2.
Wait a few minutes until the failover completes, and then try again.
3.

•
Run an HP SIM discovery to identify the new VC Domain IP address and perform the operation again.
If you perform an operation that changes the VC Domain status to Connectivity failure, VCEM will check
the connectivity using the information from HP SIM nodes after the operation completes.
•
Remove the VC Domain from VC Domain Group, and run the HP SIM discovery task to identify the new
VC Domain IP address.
Break the external manager lock, and then release these MAC and WWN address ranges as follows:
1.
Telnet in to the Virtual Connect Manager using an SSH connection such as SSH
Administrator@
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the VC Domain IP address.
2.
To determine the username of the external manager account, from the Virtual Connect Manager

following message appears:
Unable to import the MAC, WWN or VSN addresses. Possible reasons include
1) Address is being used in VCEM.
2) Address conflicts with an existing Exclusion Range.
3) Address does not fall within the defined VCEM Global Range.
To identify why the issue occurred, consider that both VC and VCEM use two MAC addresses for each
Ethernet network connection and two WWN addresses for each Fibre Channel connection. However, only
