Cannot manage a VC Domain when VC module failover is taking place
VCEM cannot create a VC Domain Group or add a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group when a backup
VC module is discovered or if a failover of a VC module occurred in a redundancy environment. The following
error message appears:
"The VC Domain [VC Domain Name] cannot be managed by VCEM. A possible cause
is that the current state of the VC Domain is unknown. Verify HP Systems Insight
Manager (HP SIM) is referencing the primary VC Module. If not, run HP SIM
discovery to update the reference."
To correct this issue, perform an HP SIM discovery on the Onboard Administrator IP address associated with
the VC module and perform the VCEM operation again.
VC Domain displays Missing External Manager lock status
If the VC Domain displays a status of Missing External Manager lock icon, the external manager lock has
either been suspended or removed.
To correct this issue with a VC Domain, remove the VC Domain from VC Domain Group, break the external
manager lock and release these MAC, WWN, and serial number address ranges as follows:
1.
Telnet in to the Virtual Connect Manager using an SSH connection such as SSH
Administrator@
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
, where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
is the VC Domain IP address.
2.
To determine the username of the external manager account, from the Virtual Connect Manager command
prompt, enter
show external-manager
. For this example, assume the user name returned was
xyz
.
3.
To disable the account, from the Virtual Connect Manager command prompt, enter
set external-manager Username=xyz Enabled=false
.
If VC Domain firmware is 2.0x or later, perform the following:
•
To remove the account and release the VC Domain from VCEM control, from the Virtual Connect Manager
command prompt, enter
remove external-manager Username=xyz mactype=<Factory-Default/User-Defined>
MacStart=<> MacEnd=<> wwnType=<Factory-Default/User-Defined> WwnStart=<>
WwnEnd=<> serverIdType=<Factory-Default/User-Defined> serverIdStart=<>
serverIdEnd=<>
NOTE:
“-quiet” is an option to suppress user confirmation prompts. This option is useful for scripting
operations. This option is available for VC firmware 2.0x or later for the disable account, remove the
account, and release ranges commands.
