HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.2 User Guide

4. Perform the following actions for each VC Domain that uses HP-predefined or user-defined
ranges within the VC Domain Group that you want to remove. Factory-default MAC and
WWN ranges are released back to Virtual Connect Manager as Factory-default.
If factory-default MAC or WWN addresses or serial numbers are not being used, address
ranges must be specified for each removed VC Domain. These address ranges must be unique
and distinct to prevent assignment of duplicate addresses. Each selected MAC and WWN
address range must also be recorded as an exclusion range to prevent assignment by VCEM.
VCEM manages a proprietary serial number range, so there is no need to define an external
range or serial number. The selected HP-predefined ranges are identified as a user-defined
ranges by the Virtual Connect Manager after the VC Domain is removed from VCEM.
The selected HP-predefined ranges are identified as a user-defined range for the Virtual Connect
Manager after the VCEM Domain is removed from VCEM.
a. Enter the MAC address range.
To use an HP-predefined MAC range, from the MAC range section, select the Use HP
Pre-Defined range box, and then select a range from the list.
You can also clear the Use HP Pre-Defined range box and then enter the start and end
addresses for the MAC range. Valid MAC address range is NN-NN-NN-NN-NN-NN
where N is a hexadecimal digit (0-F) and cannot exceed 12 characters. The VC Domain
configuration applies this MAC address range after being removed from VCEM control.
b. Enter the WWN address range.
To use an HP-predefined WWN range, from the WWN Range section, select the Use
HP Pre-Defined range box, and then select a range from the list.
You can also clear the Use Pre-Defined rang e box and then enter the start and end
addresses for the WWN range. Valid WWN address range is
NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN where N is a hexadecimal digit (0-F) and cannot
exceed 16 characters. The VC Domain configuration applies this WWN address range
after being removed from VCEM control.
c. Enter the serial number range.
To use an HP-predefined serial number range, from the serial number range section, select
the Use Pre-Defined range box, and then select a range from the list.
You can also clear the User Pre-Defined rang e box and then enter the start and end
values for the serial number range. Valid serial number range VCX01NNNNN for
user-defined or VCXNNNNNNN for HP-predefined where N is a hexadecimal digit (0-F)
and cannot exceed 10 characters. The VC Domain configuration applies this serial number
address range after being removed from VCEM control.
