• The output from the CLI show uplinkset command was not sorted by vNet name or VLAN ID. • VCM incorrectly cleared the module configuration of the Primary VC module and was still unable to acquire an IP address after all retries were exhausted. If VCM incorrectly cleared the module configuration and VCSU was used to check the VC health state, VCSU reported that the module was not configured. • Changing uplink ports in a SUS removed SmartLink settings on all vNets.
If a BL870c i2 server is present in bays 3 and 4 of a C3000 enclosure, then the Hardware Overview page in VC Manager does not display the correct graphical picture of the server. However, VC Manager does manage the server properly, it is only the graphical image that is not correct. Issue The Virtual Connect Manager CLI interface does not allow creation of the local user account with a password containing the ‘|’ (pipe) special character.
Under rare conditions, if the time setting on an enclosure is modified in such a way that the HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Module or the HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Module set the DHCP lease renewal date far in the future, the module might stop renewing the lease, which can potentially result in duplicate IP address assignments in the network. Issue The SCSI command aborts under load with the HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module.
Even though the VC iSCSI boot from SAN implementation allows you to select LUN values from 0-255, the adapter firmware limits the supported LUN values to 0-8 Issue Under certain circumstances, the checkpoint status icon in the GUI persists for a long time and is not cleared. The CLI also shows a "Checkpoint Status: Invalid" status in the show domain command output. This condition occurs periodically after a VCSU firmware upgrade of the VC module firmware.
• To operate with HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Modules, all HP Emulex LPe 1205 8Gb FC HBAs that are revision A (identified by label EDC A-4904) must perform a CFL region 19 flash update. For download and installation instructions, see the LPe1205 product page on the HP website (http://www.hp.com). • Virtual Connect Manager version 3.75 requires Adobe Flash Player 10.x or higher before you can log in. HP recommends updating to Adobe Flash Player 10.2 or higher.
IMPORTANT: When upgrading the HP VC 4Gb FC firmware from version VC-FC 1.2x to version VC-FC 1.4x, the VC-FC module can drop connectivity temporarily during the activation process. A redundant customer configuration experiences a failover with no loss of application connectivity to the fabric.
