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

Bay 1 : HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Module

Power : On
Health : Ok
IP Address : 10.193.3.245
IP Connectivity : Passed

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!
