HP Virtual Connect Version 3.61 Release Notes

Issues and workarounds 6

New issues

Issue

When using IE9 to activate the VC GUI, there is no error message when executing without Flash Player.

Issue

The VC Unknown (unmanaged) module states (Operational, VC, OA, Comm) are not being displayed in a

consistent manner.

Issue

HP VC Flex-10 and FlexFabric modules may experience an extended timeout when re-establishing a Link

Aggregation Group (LAG). This issue may increase chances for encountering a ping loss, and the likelihood

of encountering a lost ping also increases with the number of the port members in the LAG that are being

recovered or reintegrated.

Issue

When one of the uplink ports X1–X4 on the FlexFabric module is not configured for FC or is configured for

Enet, but has an FC SFP inserted into the SFP cage, the "Connector Type" displayed by VCM and the

information displayed in the detailed statistics screen are not consistent.

Issue

Changing uplink ports in a SUS removes SmartLink settings on all vNets.

Issue

If the Primary VC module is still unable to acquire an IP address after all retries have been exhausted, VCM

incorrectly clears the module configuration. If VCSU is used to check the VC health state, VCSU reports that

the module is not configured.

Issue

VC 3.61 release is still exposed to the security vulnerability CVE-2010-4180. The security concern reference

can be found on the NIST website (http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2010-4180).

Issue

The Virtual Connect Manager CLI interface does not allow creation of the local user account with passwords

containing the "|" (pipe) character.

Workaround

Use the VCM GUI to create local user accounts with passwords containing the "|" (pipe) character.

General issues

Issue

While performing OA fail over events, the GUI prompt for “restoring OA credentials” is delayed longer than

expected. The GUI displays the message “Web browser unable to communicate with VCM, please close the

browser and re-connect”. The GUI might also display additional errors.

Workaround

Start a new VCM GUI session and OA credentials can be restored successfully.

Issue

The GUI fabric status is green for uplinks linked to the Ethernet switch, even though the port type is FC and

FC SFPs are installed.
