•
VC Domain names must not already exist in VCEM.
•
Server profile names must not already exist in VCEM.
•
MAC or WWN addresses or serial numbers that are assigned to a server profile must not be
in use by VCEM or in a VCEM exclusion list. If the MAC or WWN addresses or serial numbers
are user-defined, then you must also identify a user-defined address range in VCEM.
•
If the VC Domain contains server profiles, the MAC addresses, WWNs, and the serial numbers
allocated must be compatible with the MAC, WWN, and serial number range types of the
VC Domain Group:
◦ A VC Domain containing server profiles with factory-default addresses can be added to
a VC Domain Group with VCEM-defined range types, and user-defined range types. To
add a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group with factory-default range types, all server
profiles of the VC Domain must be configured with factory-default addresses.
NOTE: If the VC Domain or VC Domain Group screen is displaying an incompatible
firmware status after upgrading from an older VCEM version, upgrade the VC firmware
for the affected VC Domains in order to make changes. See
“Upgrading incompatible
firmware modes and versions” (page 23) for more information.
◦ A VC Domain containing server profiles with addresses allocated as user-defined range
type can be added to a VC Domain Group with a user-defined or VCEM-predefined
range type. A user-defined (custom) MAC and WWN range that includes all addresses
allocated to server profiles within the VC Domain must be defined in VCEM before adding
the domain to the VC Domain Group.
◦ A VC Domain containing server profiles with addresses allocated as HP-predefined range
type can be added to a VC Domain Group with an VCEM-predefined or a user-defined
range type.
◦ An unconfigured VC Domain without server profiles has no range type restrictions when
adding in a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group.
Table 7 (page 26) summarizes MAC or WWN addresses, and serial number range type
compatibility when adding a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group.
