Important notes and recommendations When a c-Class enclosure is used with Virtual Connect v1.10, the following configuration restrictions and guidelines apply: • Plan your interconnect module usage carefully before running the Virtual Connect Domain Setup Wizard. After an interconnect bay is configured for use with a VC-Enet or VC-FC module, it remains configured for that module type until the overall VC domain is deleted.
• Virtual Connect Manager v1.10 supports one user (one browser window) at any time. For additional information, see the Virtual Connect user guide.
Known issues In this section General .................................................................................................................................................. 8 Fibre Channel and SAN boot .................................................................................................................... 8 User interface .......................................................................................................................................... 9 Firmware update .......
• The VC-FC module does not have a Web-based management interface. However, the OA presents a URL that results in a blank web page when clicked. This behavior is expected as all management of the VC-FC module is done through the Virtual Connect Manager interface. • The Fibre Channel login sequence can be delayed by approximately 20 seconds when more than one server blade HBA is aggregated through the same VC-FC uplink port attached to a Cisco switch and these HBAs are in the same zone.
• If the Domain Setup Wizard is cancelled prior to completion, it might not start automatically in future logins. The wizard can be initiated again from the Tools menu. • If a server is rebooted several times while its server profile is being edited, an error displaying an XSL transformation failure may be displayed. Do not edit a server profile while repeatedly rebooting a server.
