HP BladeSystem c-Class Virtual Connect Support Utility Version 1.5.2 Release Notes

Important notes and recommendations 4
Important notes and recommendations
• The utility must be run on a client outside of the VC domain being updated. If you run VCSU on a server
blade inside the domain that is being updated, VCSU might lose network connectivity to the VC Ethernet
and Fibre Channel modules, causing unexpected firmware update failures.
IMPORTANT: Do not run VCSU on a server blade inside the VC domain being updated.
• For upgrading to VC 3.00 or later, the embedded Virtual Connect GUI and CLI FW update options
have been removed. VCSU is the only stand alone method of FW update.
• HP strongly recommends running the healthcheck option on an enclosure before performing any
management tasks. These tasks include, but are not limited to, the following:
o Onboard Administrator firmware upgrade
o Virtual Connect firmware upgrade
o Onboard Administrator planned failover
o Virtual Connect planned failover
• When entering an OA user name from a Linux command shell with the domain\username format, use
quotation marks around the username so it is not expanded by the Linux shell.
Example:
vcsu -a collect -i 128.88.142.141 -u "dvt\ldapuser" -p hp123
• When entering an OA user password interactively with password masking from a Linux command shell,
use quotation marks around the asterisk so it is not expanded by the Linux shell.
Example:
vcsu -a version -i 192.168.1.100 -u Administrator -p "*"
