Status Icon Connectivity failure Missing external manager lock Expired license Managed by VCEM Configuration mismatch Under maintenance Description Failed to connect to the VC Domain. Possible causes include: • Connection times out. • Ethernet VC Module is physically not available. • Virtual Connect Manager is failing. • VC Domain firmware is updating. • HP Virtual Connect Ethernet IP address has changed (through DHCP or EBIPA configuration). VCEM checks the VC Domain connectivity before executing any operation that involves Virtual Connect Manager. VCEM omits the VC Domains with connection failure status message when executing an operation. VCEM is unable to obtain the necessary permissions for External Manager user. VCEM might have lost the External Manager lock at the VC Domain. The VC Domain enclosure has an expired license. The VC Domain is part of a VC Domain Group and operating normally. The VC Domain configuration has changed and does not match the VC Domain Group configuration. VC Domain is unlocked for domain, network, and storage changes through Virtual Connect Manager. After completing the domain, network, and storage changes, confirm the new VC Domain configuration in VCEM. VCEM operations related to this VC Domain or its VC Domain Group, such as create profile, move profile, profile failover, and so on, are blocked while the VC Domain is under maintenance. NOTE: For information on how to resolve status issues, see "Troubleshooting." To display the properties of a particular VC Domain, click the VC Domain name. Properties include the primary IP address, status, Virtual Connect firmware version, Ethernet networks, Shared Uplink sets, Fibre Channel SAN fabrics, Ethernet and Fibre Channel common settings, and SNMP Ethernet and Fibre Channel alert destinations. Requirements for adding a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group To add a configured VC Domain to a VC Domain Group, the following requirements must be met: • The VC Domain must have the minimum number of enclosures required by the VC Domain Group. For more information, see Working with multienclosure VC Domains. • VC Domain names must not already exist in VCEM. • Profile names must not already exist in VCEM. 22 Managing VC Domains

causes include:
Connection times out.
Ethernet VC Module is physically not
available.
Virtual Connect Manager is failing.
VC Domain firmware is updating.
HP Virtual Connect Ethernet IP address
has changed (through DHCP or EBIPA
configuration).

Connectivity failure
VCEM is unable to obtain the necessary
permissions for External Manager user.
VCEM might have lost the External Manager
lock at the VC Domain.
Missing external manager lock
The VC Domain enclosure has an expired
license.
Expired license
The VC Domain is part of a VC Domain
Group and operating normally.
Managed by VCEM
The VC Domain configuration has changed
and does not match the VC Domain Group
configuration.
Configuration mismatch
VC Domain is unlocked for domain, network,
and storage changes through Virtual
Connect Manager. After completing the
domain, network, and storage changes,
confirm the new VC Domain configuration
in VCEM. VCEM operations related to this
VC Domain or its VC Domain Group, such
as create profile, move profile, profile
failover, and so on, are blocked while the
VC Domain is under maintenance.
Under maintenance
