HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 7.3 Release Notes

Known Issues
Checking environment requirements with Insight Management Advisor for VCEM
upgrades
During a VCEM upgrade if the installed CMS has problems connecting to the database where
Insight Management products are installed, the installation displays an incorrect popup informing
you that the VC firmware version is not supported by VCEM. This situation occurs during the
upgrade requirements check. If you click OK in the dialog box, Insight Management Advisor does
not check if the VCEM upgrade requirements are met.
Suggested action
Run Insight Management Advisor manually from the first Insight Management installation screen
(option 1). If Insight Management Advisor notifies you that the environment is meeting the upgrade
requirements, proceed with the upgrade and click OK in the incompatible firmware dialog box.
Propagating configurations with private networks and FCoE networks exceeding a
total of 128 in VC 4.0x and 4.1x
If the number of private networks in conjunction with the number of FCoE networks is greater than
128 and VCEM tries to propagate that configuration to other VC Domains from the same VC
Domain Group, VCM returns an error message similar to the following:
The configuration exceeded the maximum number of supported private
networks (128 networks).
Suggested action
To resolve this, you must change the configuration to reduce the number of FCoE and private
networks to a maximum of 128.
Unexpected results from non-blocked (-nb) commands
Do not submit multiple non-blocked vcemcli commands for a single profile. Later commands may
overwrite the changes made by earlier commands. For example, do not submit a series of
non-blocked commands to add network connections to a given profile. Allow each command to
complete before submitting the next one. By following this sequence, each command will build on
the results of the previous commands. This is because of the environmental state that is saved with
each job that is submitted.
Assigning a profile to a server with two connections containing duplicate networks
and VLANS on the same physical NIC
VCEM with VC firmware 3.60 or earlier does not report an error or warning message when
assigning a profile to a server with two connections (Ethernet or iSCSI) that contain duplicate
networks and VLANS on the same physical NIC.
VC 3.70 or later displays the appropriate assign profile error message.
VCEM 7.1.1 or later includes the following improvements to help you detect the connection status
and ensure that you do not have a misconfiguration:
• VC Manager connection status is now included in the VCEM profile.
• VC Manager profile status is now displayed in the VCEM GUI.
