Figure 21 VC Domain Group with VC Domains that have different numbers of enclosures
A multienclosure domain can only be configured as follows:
•
The enclosure must be a c7000 enclosure.
•
Refer to the VC documentation available at:
for details on which
Virtual Connect Ethernet modules are supported for primary and secondary roles for the VC
firmware revision in your environment.
•
FC modules in every enclosure must match the model and disposition.
To manage multienclosure domains in VCEM, proceed in the same way as with single-enclosure
domains:
1.
License all enclosures. For more information, see
.
2.
Provide credentials as needed.
3.
Configure the VC Domain Group. For more information, see
.
VCEM supports multienclosure domains with a different number of enclosures in the same VC
Domain Group. For example, you can configure a group with two VC Domains if one VC Domain
has two enclosures, and the other VC Domain has four enclosures. You can create this configuration
provided that the base configurations of both VC domains are equal.
IMPORTANT:
When configuring the VC Domain, you must add the remote enclosures in the
correct order. VCM tracks the order of the enclosures that are added. If you add the remote
enclosures and one VC Domain follows a different order than the others, VCEM fails to manage
that VC Domain.
The VC module disposition between two VC Domains must match for them to be included in the
same VC Domain Group.
For more information, see the HP Virtual Connect Manager documentation.
