On the Ethernet Networks (Server Connections) screen the "Go to Network" action does not open the Edit Network screen. Workaround Go to Ethernet Networks (External Connections) screen and perform the "Edit" action for that network. Issue HP recommends that the “Prevent flooding of unregistered multicast traffic” option remains disabled when using VCEM to manage the VC domain with the “VCEM Compatibility Mode” set to a VC firmware version earlier than 3.70.
far in the future, the module might stop renewing the lease, which can potentially result in duplicate IP address assignments in the network. Issue An extra button appears when using Internet Explorer 8 to view the Detailed Statistics screen for FC uplink ports on a VC FlexFabric module. If you click Back to Previous Page, the tabs in the main window change. To return to the previous screen, simply close the browser window.
The timestamp for SNMP traps from VC-FC interconnect modules is not in sync with the timestamp kept by Virtual Connect Manager. Issue Even though the VC iSCSI boot from SAN implementation allows you to select LUN values from 0-255, the adapter firmware limits the supported LUN values to 0-8 Issue Under certain circumstances, the checkpoint status icon in the GUI persists for a long time and is not cleared. The CLI also shows a "Checkpoint Status: Invalid" status in the show domain command output.
• The Virtual Connect GUI requires a minimum of 512 MB of available memory to operate efficiently. • To operate with HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Modules, all HP Emulex LPe 1205 8Gb FC HBAs that are revision A (identified by label EDC A-4904) must perform a CFL region 19 flash update. For download and installation instructions, see the LPe1205 product page on the HP website (http://www.hp.com). • Virtual Connect Manager version 3.70 requires Adobe Flash Player 10.x or higher before you can log in.
IMPORTANT: When upgrading the HP VC 4Gb FC firmware from version VC-FC 1.2x to version VC-FC 1.4x, 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.
