Prepare a VCEM enclosure for migration into HPE OneView

An enclosure managed by Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM) can be migrated into HPE OneView. The Virtual Connect domain for the enclosure must be removed from the Virtual Connect domain group before starting the migration process. To remove the Virtual Connect domain, use one of the following options:

Procedure
  1. Option 1 — Use the VCEM GUI
    1. Remove the Virtual Connect domains from the Virtual Connect domain group through the VCEM web interface.

      VCEM marks the MACs and WWNs that are assigned to profiles in the domain as "External". This ensures that VCEM does not reuse those addresses in the future.

      The enclosure is managed by VCM.

      NOTE:

      VCM ranges, even if originated from a VCEM domain group, will not be migrated. The individual MAC/WWN for each profile connection will be used as a user-defined ID within HPE OneView. Any new addresses assigned in the future will be allocated from the HPE OneView address pools.

    2. Follow the VCM migration process as outlined in Before migrating HPE BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure.
  2. Option 2 — Use the HPE OneView PowerShell module
    1. Download the HPE OneView PowerShell library from http://hewlettpackard.github.io/POSH-HPOneView/.
    2. From the HPE OneView PowerShell module, execute the Invoke-HPOVVcmMigration command. See the HPE OneView PowerShell module documentation for more information.
    3. Follow the VCM migration process as outlined in Before migrating HPE BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure.
