IMPORTANT:
VCM 3.30 or later does not allow you to easily revert back from Expanded VLAN
capacity mode to Legacy capacity mode. To revert back to Legacy capacity mode, you must delete
the VC Domain in VCM and then recreate it.
To perform VC Domain maintenance from the VC Domain Groups page:
1.
Select the VC Domain Group on which you want to perform maintenance.
2.
Click VC Domain Maintenance.
3.
Select the target VC Domain within the selected VC Domain Group which will be enabled for
maintenance, and click Next. The VC Domain Maintenance page appears.
4.
To unlock VCM for domain, network, and storage changes, click Make changes via VC
Manager. The VCM web interface appears in a separate browser window. The under
maintenance status indicates that the VC Domain Group is temporarily unlocked for domain
network and storage.
5.
Using VCM, log in with full user rights at the Virtual Connect Manager prompt and perform
and save the necessary changes. VCEM blocks all operations related to the VC Domain and
to its respective VC Domain Group while the VC Domain is under VC Domain Maintenance.
Close the VCM web browser and return to the VC Domain Groups page in VCEM. To confirm
changes in VCEM, repeat steps 1 and 2.
6.
Click the Restore configuration check box to enable VCEM to automatically restore the original
VC Domain configuration in case changes cannot be applied to the VC Domain Group.
7.
Select from one of the following options:
•
Click Complete VC Domain Maintenance to apply the changes.
If VCEM detects that all VC Domains in the group have higher firmware versions than the
VC Domain Group, a warning similar to the following is displayed:
VCEM detected that in addition to completing the VC Domain
Maintenance process, the VC Domain Group firmware mode [{0}] can
be upgraded to [{1}]. Do you want to upgrade the VC Domain Group
firmware mode? Click 'Yes' to upgrade the VC Domain Group firmware
mode in addition to completing the VC Domain Maintenance
operation. Or click 'No' if you want to complete VC Domain
Maintenance operation at this time. You can manually upgrade the
VC Domain Group firmware mode at a later time by selecting
'Upgrade Firmware Mode' on the VC Domain Groups page.
•
Click Cancel to discard the VC Domain configuration changes. If the VC Domain is not
under maintenance, clicking Cancel closes the user interface pages. The message Virtual
Connect Enterprise Manager is executing the request
appears with a
job ID code.
