Creating a server profile or adding a VC Domain with a server profile to
a VC Domain Group fails
Attempting to create a profile or adding a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group might fail if any of
the following 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 VCEM has enough free MAC and WWN addresses.
2.
Verify 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 to be managed by
VCEM.
4.
Perform the operation again.
Removing VCEM
IMPORTANT:
You must remove VC Domains from VCEM management before removing VCEM.
If there are VC Domains being managed by VCEM during removal, the uninstaller fails and a
button appears in HP Insight Management. You can click on the button to get corrective action
instructions.
To remove VCEM:
•
Select Start
→All Programs→Insight Management→Uninstall HP Insight Management.
NOTE:
Depending on your operating system, the following menu options might slightly vary.
•
From the Control Panel:
1.
Double-click Add or Remove Programs.
2.
Click Insight Management.
3.
Click Remove.
Backing up and restoring VCEM
In the event of catastrophic and complete VCEM failure, all server blades continue to operate, and
the integrity of the server application and data are not compromised.
VCEM can be restored to an operational state after complete loss of the VCEM Application or
Database. While it is possible to restore VCEM to its state before the loss, minor or major
configuration loss might occur, depending on the availability of a database backup. If no database
backup is available, then a large amount of information can be reconstructed from the contents of
the VC modules.
It is important that you understand what information is stored in the database, and can be lost
without proper backup practices.
