Known problems and limitations This section provides a list of known problems and limitations as known to HP at time of publication. If workarounds are available, they are included. • VFC deletion time While executing “hpvmstop” command the time taken to delete a single Integrity VM VFC depends on total number of targets mapped to the VFC. Each target node port deletion takes approximately 2 seconds. The greater the number of targets, the higher the time taken for total target deletion.
• FCoE Boot From SAN for Firmware version 4.1.450.7 or higher In a non-Virtual Connect FlexFabric configuration, a system configured with a FCoE device in the EFI Boot Manager should be able to boot by selecting the FCoE Boot Entry. If the system does not have a FCoE device in EFI Boot Manager, the “Set boot from SAN” controls the FCoE boot device mapping behavior. The “Set boot from SAN” should be set to “Enable” to allow booting from the FCoE boot device.
