blades after the upgrade. However, if there are FCoE connection entries mapped to LOM3 and LOM4
then those entries will get mapped to LOM1 and LOM2 ports on the new blades in the upgraded server.
Below is an example upgrading a BL860c i4 to a BL870c i4 where VC-assigned WWNs are used and the
VCM server profile contains five FCoE connection entries. Notice that the first four entries map to the
same ports on both the original and the upgraded server, but the fifth entry, mapped to LOM3 on the
original server, is mapped to LOM1 of the Auxiliary blade in the upgrade.

The WWN is assigned in this example by VCM (as opposed to using HW default WWNs) so the WWN
does not change, but the HW path as seen by HP-UX is different so this would be seen as a new device.
If the OS boot disk were attached on SAN-5, then the boot path in UEFI Boot Manager would no longer
be valid. If it's okay that the HW path has changed, then HP-UX could be configured to use the new HW
path and a new HP-UX boot path entry could be made in UEFI Boot Manager, if necessary. If the HW
path must remain the same, then four connection entries can be added to the profile before assigning the
profile to the upgraded server. This is shown below.
