Fixes
The VC 4.01 release resolves the following issues:
• During a firmware upgrade to the Virtual Connect environment with a large number of defined Ethernet
networks and NIC teaming failover policies configured for ALB or TLB, network and SAN connectivity
interruption sometimes occurred.
• Loss of Ethernet connectivity on the uplink port caused SmartLink operation on the FlexNIC to result in the
inability of the FlexHBA FCoE connection on the same port to log into the SAN Fabric.
• In a VC mixed environment with both single-dense (for example, HP ProLiant BL460c) and double-dense
(for example, HP ProLiant BL2x220) servers installed, a firmware upgrade from VC v3.10-3.60 to VC
v3.70-3.75 left some profiles unassigned, causing a network outage.
• A server profile with two Ethernet connections assigned to a ProLiant full height server blade in a Flex-10
environment might enable more than two NICs. Although two NICs were expected to be enabled by
Virtual Connect, four NICs were enabled on BL685 servers and six NICs were enabled on BL680
servers.
• The Virtual Connect Manager CLI interface did not allow creation of the local user account with a
password containing the ‘|’ (pipe) special character.
• The SCSI command aborted under load with the HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module.
• The HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module did not respond to the HP Insight Control cpqHoGUID MIB request
and reported an error.
• The VC GUI incorrectly displayed the uplink port Trunking Mode on the Detailed Statistics screen as
"None." The options for Trunking Mode are "Auto," "Primary," or "Secondary."
• In the VC GUI, a complete list of the Associated Networks was not viewable in the Shared Uplink Set
editor page when VC Domain was under VCEM control.
• When using the VC CLI, if a server profile assignment operation was combined with the optional
PowerOn attribute, a server profile would be successfully assigned but the server would remain
powered off.
• When clicking Backup Configuration on the Domain Settings (Backup/Restore) screen and then
navigating away from that screen, the configuration file was not saved.
• When an HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module was connected to Brocade 16Gb switches and directors or
to Cisco MDS 9000 series switches with an advanced 8Gb line card, the link between the VC-FC
module and the switch could only negotiate to 4 Gb instead of 8 Gb. For more information, see the HP
