HP Virtual Connect Version 3.61 Release Notes
Issues and workarounds 8
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.
Issue
If a user attempts to remove or add a mezzanine card to a server blade, then VCM might not detect the
addition or removal of the mezzanine card when the server is re-inserted into the enclosure. However, the
OA shows the correct configuration.
Workaround
Reset the VC Manager before powering up the server blade that has the mezzanine card changes. For
new server installations, VCM correctly detects the server configuration and no reset is required. The
VCM reset does not affect the operation of any other servers.
Issue
HP VC 8 Gb 24-Port FC Module does not return a proper value for the cpqHoGUID element of the
CPHSHOST MIB during HP System Insight Control discovery, which causes discovery to complete with errors.
Issue
iSCSI Boot from SAN is supported only on the NC551i Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Adapter and NC553i/m
10Gb 2-port FlexFabric Converged Network Adapter. The boot LUN IDs must be in the range of 0 to 8.
Issue
If an enclosure import is attempted with a server blade in a failed state, VCM might incorrectly report an error
when one does not exist. If the import completes, close the browser and log in again to verify that the import
was successful. Use the OA to verify the working state of all server blades.
Issue
Under certain circumstances, the checkpoint status icon in the GUI persists for a long time and is not cleared.
The CLI also shows a "Checkpoint Status: Invalid" status in the "show domain" output. This condition has
been observed periodically after a VCSU firmware upgrade of the VC module firmware. To resolve this issue,
reset VCM on the primary module.
Issue
The SNMP Managed Status Change trap (vcProfileManagedStatusChange) for all unassigned profiles is not
sent by VC when the profile status transitions to Normal state.
Issue
When a server blade server port has multiple FlexNICs defined and one of the ports is defined as FCoE,
deleting the FCoE FlexNIC does not redistribute the bandwidth to other active FlexNICs, even though the GUI
indicates that this redistribution occurred.
