Firmware upgrade requirements
IMPORTANT: For optimal operation of HP Virtual Connect Manager, use the recommended
firmware versions.
Always install the most current firmware for the following items:
• Server blade system ROMs
• Ethernet mezzanines
• Fibre Channel mezzanines
• HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator
• HP recommends using the HP BladeSystem c-Class Virtual Connect Support Utility version 1.2.2 or
higher to install the HP 1/10Gb VC-Enet version 1.24 and HP 4Gb VC-FC version 1.11 firmware.
Be sure to read the instructions on the web page and in the HP BladeSystem c-Class Virtual Connect
Support Utility version 1.2.2 or higher release notes for the procedures.
IMPORTANT: With the HP 4Gb VC-FC upgrade for version 1.11, 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.
