supported by the other VC Domains (with older firmware). The VC Domain will remain in
Maintenance Mode status and VCEM will not be able to complete or cancel the maintenance
operation. To complete or cancel the maintenance operation, you must first remove the VC Domain
with Expanded VLAN capacity from the Domain Group.
Working with HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem
VCEM cannot manage a VC Domain having one or more FC modules in an Incompatible state.
The FC module can become incompatible in the following situations:
•
An HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC module replaces an HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC
module.
•
An HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC module replaces a HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC
module.
•
If HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC modules and HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC modules
share the same I/O bay slice. (For example, a HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC module in I/O
Bay 3 and a HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC module in I/O Bay 4).
•
In a multienclosure VC Domain, if there are mixed HP Virtual Connect 4 Gb FC modules and
HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port FC modules in the same I/O bay from different enclosures.
(For example, 4 Gb FC modules in the local enclosure, but 8 Gb FC modules in the remote
enclosures.)
Adding or removing remote enclosures from a multienclosure domain in VC Domain
Maintenance
NOTE: Adding enclosures that are not yet licensed in VCEM causes that VC Domain to be put
in Not Licensed status. You must either license or remove the newly added enclosure.

1.
Select the VC Domain that must be changed, and put it into maintenance mode.
2. Access VCM.

Canceling a VC Domain Maintenance task
Canceling a VC Domain Maintenance discards domain, network, and storage configuration
changes that you have performed while in maintenance mode, and returns the VC Domain to the
configuration that is shared by all VC Domains within a VC Domain Group.
IMPORTANT: For more information on the domain, network, and storage configurations that
VCEM can replicate during completion of VC Domain Maintenance, or discard in case of a failure
or cancellation of the VC Domain Maintenance operation, see
“Replicating VC Domain Group
configurations to other VC Domains during VC Domain Maintenance” (page 47) .
