well as between domain groups. Moving server profiles between domain groups offers new
options when upgrading hardware or firmware. As part of the move process, the source and
destination domain groups are checked for compatibility of network and storage connections.
Warnings or errors are reported, based on the severity of any mismatches that are detected.
The VCEMCLI move command can be executed from a script triggered from Systems Insight
Manager in response to designated events. The HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User
Guide describes how the VCEM failover command-line utility can be invoked from Systems
Insight Manager. A similar approach can be used for Systems Insight Manager to execute the
VCEMCLI power and move commands to relocate server profiles in the event of a failure. The
VCEM failover command-line requires that compatible spare blades are designated through
the VCEM web UI, but the VCEMCLI power, move, assign and unassign commands can be
used to:
◦ Shut down a lower priority workload.
◦ Reassign a higher priority workload server profile to a vacated blade.
◦ Power up a high priority server profile in its new location.
Once the original blade has been repaired, the process can be reversed to restore the server
profiles to their normal assignments.
