Important notes and recommendations • Due to a change in the installation method for HP 4Gb Virtual Connect Fibre Channel firmware version 1.11, HP recommends using this version of the Virtual Connect Support Utility to install the firmware. If the HP 4Gb Virtual Connect Fibre Channel firmware version 1.11 firmware is installed using Virtual Connect Manager or using HP BladeSystem c-Class Virtual Connect Support Utility version 1.2.0 or earlier, the HP 4Gb VC-FC Module might present a degraded status.
New features The HP BladeSystem c-Class Virtual Connect Support Utility Version 1.3.

Resolved issues The following issues that existed in previous versions of VCSU have been resolved in v1.3.0: • A 'Download failed' error occurred while uploading via remote package (FTP). • VCSU would hang indefinitely when the bays being updated were reset. • Providing a username or password with less than 4 characters exited the VCSU. • Firmware update with an External Manager-controlled domain occurred without the force option.
