Deleting a vc domain group – HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager Software User Manual
Page 68
IMPORTANT:
the Upgrade Firmware Mode feature is used to control what firmware level
will be used for the VC Domain Group as a whole. For example, if the FW mode of the VC
Domain Group is 3.30, then the base VC Domain configuration data and profile operations
will all behave as though they contain VC FW 3.30. This allows you to gradually upgrade
the individual VC Domain firmware levels to a later version, and then when the last VC Domain
firmware is upgraded, clicking the Upgrade Firmware Mode button signals the VC Domain
Group as a whole to start operating at the later firmware version.
However, not all VC firmware upgrades provide a new group firmware mode option. For
example, VC firmware releases 3.5x through 3.60 all use 3.5x group firmware mode. New
VC Domain Group firmware options typically correlate to significant new features in the VC
firmware
The base VC Domain configuration data is the foundational information that defines the
capabilities of a VC Domain. For more information on base VC Domain configuration data,
see
“Replicating VC Domain Group configurations to other VC Domains during VC Domain
The Upgrade Firmware Mode feature allows you to set the minimum acceptable VC firmware
version for any VC domain in this VC domain group.

Deleting a VC Domain Group
IMPORTANT:
If you delete a VC Domain Group, then all unassigned server profiles within that
VC Domain Group will be posted to one of the VC Domains that were part of the deleted VC
Domain Group. To verify which VC Domain contains the unassigned server profiles after the VC
Domain Group deletion job is completed, look at the report generated by the related job in the
VCEM event. To access this report from the Systems Insight Manager left navigation panel, select
Events
→Shared→VCEM Events.
VC firmware supports no more than 256 profiles within the VC Domain. If this number is exceeded,
the VCM can reset.
IMPORTANT:
This VCEM operation does not provide a reference to the VC Domain from Systems
Insight Manager. To access this reference, you must correlate the Systems Insight Manager and
VC logs. For more information, see
“Correlating VCEM operations in Systems Insight Manager
VCEM detects the presence of logical server managers or upper level managers. When performing
this task, a prompt dialog message appears and explains the impact of performing that task from
outside the logical server manager or upper level manager. The following message appears:
IMPORTANT: VCEM has detected you may be using other products, such as
HP Matrix Operating Environment. Deleting this VC Domain Group will
make it and any Server Profiles in this VC Domain Group unmanageable
by this upper level manager. Type YES to proceed with this operation.
To proceed, you must type YES, and then click OK. VCEM does not proceed if you cut and paste
YES into the field.
