HP Virtual Connect Version 3.30 Release Notes

Known issues 19
• In Virtual Connect Manager 3.10 or later, when a VC domain is configured with a primary module
installed in a bay other than bays 1 or 2, you must have both a primary module and a backup module.
If the primary module is installed in a bay other than bay 1 or bay 2, and no backup module is installed,
running the Virtual Connect Support Utility to perform a VC firmware upgrade results in an unconfigured
domain after the upgrade and requires you to restore the domain configuration from a backup file.
• When VC is used and Integrity BL870c i2 or BL890c i2 server blades are present, after an OA is reset
the OA occasionally displays factory-assigned WWNs and MAC addresses for the auxiliary blades in
a multi-blade server, even though VC-assigned values exist. This problem does not affect the operation
of the server. The server blades have and operate with the correct VC-assigned WWNs and MAC
addresses.
To work around this issue, do the following:
a. Power off the server blade, if necessary.
b. Unassign the VC profile.
c. Reassign the VC profile.
d. Power on the server blade.
• In Virtual Connect release 3.0x or later, the Server Admin user is not able to modify the IGMP Snooping
settings. This known issue is related to the authorizations of the Server Admin user in the security token
being passed between VC software components. This issue will be fixed in a later release of Virtual
Connect. To work around this issue, the Server Admin user must log in as an Administrator to change
IGMP Snooping settings.
• Multiple or unsupported versions of Adobe Flash Player cause the Firefox web browser to crash
On some combinations of the Firefox web browser, Adobe Flash Player, and the operating system, the
Adobe Flash Player causes the Firefox web browser to crash unexpectedly—especially if multiple
versions or an older/unsupported version of the Flash Player (for example, Flash v8.0) is installed with
Firefox, even if the older/unsupported version of the Flash plug-in is disabled. HP recommends that
Virtual Connect 3.0x or later users install only one supported version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in
with the Firefox web browser.
Depending on the installed versions of the Firefox web browser, Adobe Flash Player, and the operating
system (for example, Firefox v3.5.9 and Adobe Flash Player v9.0/v10.0 installed on GNU Linux
v2.6.9), certain fix patches from Adobe for the Adobe Flash Player might be needed. For the latest
information on fix patches for the Flash Player plug-in, see the Adobe website
(http://www.adobe.com/support/security/index.html#flashplayer).
Also, users might experience problems with the Firefox web browser hanging or crashing and then
showing the "failed to create MSXML object" error. This is a known issue with XSLT transformations for
the Firefox web browser. For more information about downloading and installing a patch for your
specific version of the Firefox web browser, see the following:

• Editing the SAN fabric should not allow changes to the fabric's I/O bay. The “Add Port” menu may
show incorrect menu entries instead of showing the port details only for the current or previously added
bay entries. If they are selected, the SAN fabric is not updated with the current modifications.
• When multiple Internet Explorer 7 browser sessions are open to the Virtual Connect Manager
application, the VC GUI might hang. To avoid this issue, add the following registry value:
