HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 7.3 Release Notes

Performance degradation using IE 8 or 9 with a large number of networks
When using browsers IE 8 or 9 with a large number of networks, the single and multiple network
selection windows on the create or edit server profile screen may have a degraded performance,
especially after some extended amounts of usage. HP recommends that you use IE 10 or Firefox
with a large number of networks.
Performing a VC Domain Maintenance operation on an uplink port that is configured
for port monitoring
An uplink port that is configured for port monitoring can unintentionally be associated to an Ethernet
network or Shared Uplink Set when performing a VC Domain Maintenance operation. The double
association will also occur on the other VC Domains in the VC Domain Group after maintenance
is completed. This situation may cause conflicting data streams over the uplink port.
Suggested action
Perform a VC Domain Maintenance operation again to remove the conflict by editing the Ethernet
network or Shared Uplink Set to not use the conflicting uplink port.
Adding VC Domains with configured network access groups
Adding VC Domains with network access groups configured and with server profiles using any
network access group other than the default group can cause the operation to fail with an error
message similar to the following:
Error during Add VC Domain [ch00087vc] to VC Domain Group. Details: The
operation cannot be performed because it refers to a network in the
profile that does not belong to the NAG associated with the profile.
Suggested action
1. Take note of each server profile network access group configuration.
2. Access VCM and update each server profile network access group configuration from
“user-defined” to “default”.
3. Add the VC Domain to the target VC Domain Group.
4. Update the server profile’s network access group configuration with the original configuration.
NOTE: It will be necessary to repeat steps 1 (one) and 3 (three) for each server profile that
is using the user-defined network access groups.
NOTE: All networks in use by the server profile must be part of default network access group
configuration.
Updating VC firmware versions in a VC Domain to be compatible with VC 3.70 or
later
With release 7.1.1 or later, VC firmware versions 3.70 or later are not compatible with VC firmware
versions prior to 3.3x.
Suggested actions
Virtual Connect firmware compatibility mode allows administrators to update each VC Domain in
a VC Domain Group incrementally, rather than requiring that all VC Domains be updated at the
same time. VC Domain Group firmware mode is the firmware level in which a VC Domain Group
operates.
NOTE: For GUI screens and buttons to perform the VC firmware updates described in the following
procedures, see “Updating VC firmware” in the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User Guide
at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/docs.
