General issues 
Issue 
Upgrading VC FlexFabric firmware from 3.15, 3.17, or 3.18 to a newer version might result in a temporary 
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) outage. 
This behavior is limited to systems using HP ProLiant or Integrity server blades with a FlexFabric Mezzanine 
adapter and a corresponding FCoE connection to an HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port module. This 
behavior does not appear for FCoE connections using an embedded FlexFabric adapter (LOM). 
For more detailed information, see Customer Advisory c02950493 on the HP website 
(http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02950493). 
Issue 
The HP VC 8 Gb 24-Port FC Module does not respond to the HP Insight Control cpqHoGUID MIB request and 
is reported as an error. 
Workaround 
Remove the FC module from the query. 
Issue 
HP Systems Insight Manager might incorrectly identify the HP VC 8 Gb 24-Port FC module as a SAN switch 
due to the incorrect value returned in the SysObjectOid. 
Issue 
In expanded VLAN mode, the number of allowed connections to a Flex-10 server port is 162. If a profile has 
more than 162 connections defined on a physical Flex-10 port, the port is disabled when the profile is 
applied and the port status is displayed as disabled. 
Issue 
The CLI copy uplinkset command does not allow copying of Private Networks within the shared uplink 
set. 
Issue 
When a HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC module is connected to a Brocade 8510 (16Gb) switch, the link between the 
FC module and the 8510 can only negotiate to 4Gb instead of 8Gb. 
Workaround 
Lock the 8510 port speed to 8Gb for the port that the FC is connecting to.
