Interconnect module is in Unmanaged state

Symptom

Interconnect modules report their state as Unmanaged state.

Solution 1
Cause

Interconnect bay has a mismatch with the expected type. The logical interconnect group is expecting a different interconnect than what is in the enclosure.

Action
  1. Remove the unexpected interconnect from the enclosure.
  2. Insert the expected interconnect into the enclosure.
  3. Use the interconnect by updating the logical interconnect group.
  4. Use the interconnect by updating the logical interconnect group as described in the HPE OneView Help.
Solution 2
Cause

Interconnect has firmware installed which is less than the minimum supported baseline version.

NOTE:

This applies to Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Interconnects with IPv6 addresses, which are installed in an enclosure containing only Virtual Connect Fibre Channel modules.

For minimum supported interconnect firmware versions, see the HPE OneView Support Matrix.

Action
  1. Remove an enclosure from the Enclosures screen.
  2. Remove the enclosure from the Enclosures screen as described in the HPE OneView Help.
  3. Update the interconnect firmware for a Virtual Fibre Channel interconnects as described in the HPE OneView Help.
  4. Update the firmware for Virtual Connect interconnects configured for Fibre Channel networks
  5. Add the enclosure on the Enclosures screen.
  6. For an interconnect that is not a Virtual Connect Fibre Channel, update the interconnect firmware from the logical interconnect as described in the HPE OneView Help.
  7. For an interconnect that is not a Virtual Connect Fibre Channel, Stage and activate firmware for update from logical interconnect.
