HP Virtual Connect 4.10 Release Notes
Installation instructions 9
• 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 4.10 requires Adobe Flash Player 11.1.x or higher before you can
log in. HP recommends updating to Adobe Flash Player 11.5 or higher for Windows and 11.2 for Linux
systems.
The recommended Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in can be downloaded and installed from the
Adobe website (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
), or downloaded as a standalone executable
from the Adobe website (http://www.adobe.com/downloads
).
For the latest Adobe Flash Player Security Bulletin Updates, see the Adobe website
(http://www.adobe.com/support/security/index.html#flashplayer

• When VC 4.10 is configured in "IPv6 Only" mode, the OA "Enclosure IP Mode" must also be
configured through the OA CLI or OA GUI. However, you must ensure that any OA IPv4 addresses are
cleared or the VC module cannot function correctly. To recover, clear any OA IPv4 addresses using the
OA CLI or OA GUI, and then reset the VC module. For more information, see the "Enabling IPv6
support" section in the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Version 4.10 User Guide on the
Installing tab of the HP BladeSystem Technical Resources website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation).
