Migrate back to VCM from OneView

Greetings, Here is a situation I am in, was hoping someone could help. 

Products:
BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure G3
VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Module

Recently my company has decided to stop using OneView and we had a single failed blade in a chassis that refused to start without a VC profile. So we have decided to migrate the chassis away from its reliance on OneView which no longer exists in our environment. But I am unable to do so for multiple reasons. 

Firstly, I cleared VC Mode in the OA after all blades powered down.  
I removed the module from the chassis and obtained the default admin password. 

When attempting to visit the Virtual Connect Manager web gui, I can log in with those credentials, and I enter the Virtual Connect Manager Domain Setup Wizard... ok... I enter my OA credentials, then get this message:

The web browser was not able to communicate with Virtual Connect Manager in the allotted time. You will be redirected to the login page.

And then I have re-start the procedure above, clearing VC mode, or power cycling the VC module. 
I should note, I have attempted this in multiple versions of FF and IE.

---- 

I have also logged in to the CLI of the interconnect itself, via the OA CLI, or via SSH, using the credentials.  
Here is an example session(s):

->import enclosure username=Administrator password=XXXXX
Importing enclosure, please wait...
ERROR: Unknown error

->reset vcm
ERROR: Connection lost : Unable to communicate with the management transport

----

Or, an example session with VCSU to do a health check:
vcsu -a healthcheck -i <MY-IP> -u Administrator -p <MYPASS> -vcu Administrator -vcp <MYPASS>

Onboard Administrator Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version : 4.95
VLAN Tagging : Disabled

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bay 1 : HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Module
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power : On
Health : Ok
IP Address : 10.193.3.245
IP Connectivity : Passed
Version : 4.62
Mode : Primary


I have also attempted a firmware update with VCSU, which seems fine, but stops with a message:
Virtual Connect package doesn't exist in the given path


...Although the firmware image is g2g. 



Anyone ever experience this level of weirdness leaving OneView?  The only other plausable idea I have, based on what I have read, is swapping the position of the module elsewhere in the chassis which may reset it.

Thank you!
