2.
If a VC configuration is used and the upgrade requires moving to a new enclosure, then setup
the target VC server profile on the new enclosure now using the VCM domain and the
designated Monarch Server VC profile on the current system for guidance. Refer to
“Possible
changes due to VC profile mapping on the upgraded server blade” (page 82)
for important
information before starting this.
3.
If the enclosure uses Virtual Connect, then unassign any VC server profiles assigned to enclosure
bays occupied by original servers and also those which will be occupied by upgrade server
blades. This must include profiles assigned to bays which will contain Monarch or auxiliary
blades. See the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide for more information
on VCM server profiles
4.
If the Monarch Server or any other existing system to be added in the upgrade is using a
partner blade, remove it from the enclosure now. If the Monarch Server uses a partner blade
which will remain in the upgrade, it will be added back in a later step.
5.
If necessary, move the Monarch Server. This step will be necessary for cases such as moving
from a c7000 to a c3000 enclosure or upgrading from a BL860c i2 or BL870c i2 in an odd
numbered enclosure bay to a BL870c i2 in an even numbered enclosure bay. See the table
“Blade Link bay location rules” in section
“Installing the Blade Link for BL870c i2 or BL890c
i2 configurations” (page 22)
6.
Place any other existing systems or upgrade blades to be combined in the upgrade into
enclosure bays adjacent to the Monarch Server.
IMPORTANT:
Existing systems and new upgrade blades must be placed into enclosure bays
with higher numbers than those occupied by the Monarch Server.
7.
Install any partner blades that will be used in the upgraded server blade. For positioning rules,
see
“Installing the Blade Link for BL870c i2 or BL890c i2 configurations” (page 22)
8.
Transfer the Monarch Server label carrier card to the Upgrade Blade Link:
a.
Remove the label carrier card from behind the trap door of the Monarch Server Blade
Link. See
“Blade Link” (page 125)
for the trap door location. The label carrier card will
look like the image below:
b.
Remove the product number portion of the Field Upgrade Only label on the Upgrade
Blade Link. This label will look similar to the image below:
Below is an example showing upgrade Blade Link sticker locations for the BL870c i2.
