Software Owner's manual

NOTE: Keep the following in mind:
• Some VC 3.3x features are not validated when adding a VC 3.3x Domain to a VC Domain
Group such as Login Banner configurations, Network Loop Protection, network labels and
colors, Storage Management Credentials, or Radius/TACACS. VCEM does not require that
the VC Domain configuration match the VC Domain Group. For more information, see
“Requirements for adding a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group” (page 24)
• Some VC 3.3x features are not replicated when VC Domain maintenance is completed such
as Storage Management Credentials and Radius/TACACS. For more information, see
“Replicating VC Domain Group configurations to other VC Domains during VC Domain
Maintenance” (page 51)
Platform support
VCEM is supported on most HP BladeSystem c-Class hardware, storage, software, and third-party
operating platforms. For a full list of supported platforms and components, see Installing and
configuring VCEM.
Product licensing
Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is licensed per BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, with separate
options for BL-c3000 and BL-c7000 enclosures.
A single VCEM license is required for each enclosure to be managed in both single and
multienclosure domain configurations, and is valid for the life of the associated enclosure.
