HP Virtual Connect Manager Version 1.31 Release Notes and Compatibility Matrix

Known issues 15
• Cisco MSD 9134 requires minimum firmware revision of 3.2(2)c, or higher.
• 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. To avoid this problem, do not place server HBAs in the same
zone on the fabric switch.
• When configuring Trap Destination IP addresses for the VC-FC modules, be sure that trap
destinations are capable of supporting SNMPv1 type traps.
• In a c3000 enclosure with full-height server blades and FC mezzanine cards installed in slot 2 and
slot 3, the VC Manager might assign and incorrectly display the same WWN to both FC mezzanine
cards. This configuration is unsupported and one of the mezzanine cards should be removed.
• If updating from Virtual Connect Manager v1.10 firmware, the VC-Enet module firmware must be
updated before the VC-FC module firmware. Otherwise, the VC-FC firmware might not appear to be
updated successfully.
User interface
• Virtual Connect Manager allows users to change the number of VC-FC Module uplink ports
connected to an external Fabric Switch without a warning while a server might be accessing remote
storage devices.
• Virtual Connect Manager shows either a server blade or an interconnect module as degraded (but
not both) for an I/O mismatch where the incompatibility has been detected by electronic signature
(eKEY) of the modules.
• Network uplinks that are linked after the Network Setup Wizard has been started may not show
proper link status in the wizard. When the wizard is completed, all uplink link statuses are displayed
correctly.
• A server profile can be assigned to a device bay with a server that has fewer physical NIC ports
than defined in the server profile. In most cases, a warning is provided, but in some cases it is not.
• 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.
• In the Bay Summary screen for a VC-FC module in Virtual Connect Manager, some servers might be
displayed with the incorrect model number. The model number is displayed correctly in other screens
and in the Onboard Administrator.
• In the Server Connections tab of the Ethernet Networks screen, the port status shows OK even if the
server port is not linked.
