Virtual Connect modules 240
Corrective action: Configure FIPS mode on the module. To configure FIPS mode, see "Enabling FIPS
mode (on page 316)."
• FC bay groups
In a multi-enclosure environment, all enclosures must have the same FC module configuration. For more
information, see "Multiple enclosure requirements (on page 62)."
Corrective action: Remove the incompatible module and replace it with the correct module for the
existing FC bay group.
In a c3000 enclosure, VC-FC modules are not supported in bay 2.
• FC modules in multi-enclosure double dense domains
When using VC-FC modules, multi-enclosure double dense domains require similar and compatible
VC-FC modules in bays 5, 6, 7, and 8 in all enclosures. If a multi-enclosure double dense configuration
contains incompatible VC-FC modules in bays 5, 6, 7, or 8 in either the local or remote enclosures,
some or all of the compatible VC-FC modules in the remote enclosures might be designated
INCOMPATIBLE after import.
Corrective action:
a. Replace incompatible VC-FC modules with similar and compatible VC-FC modules in bays 5, 6, 7,
and 8 in all enclosures.
b. Power cycle any VC-FC module that still remains in an INCOMPATIBLE state.
Ethernet Bay Summary (General Information) screen
This screen provides a summary of the interconnect module status and general information. To remove a
