General issues
Issue
Upgrading VC FlexFabric firmware from 3.15, 3.17, or 3.18 to a newer version might result in a temporary
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) outage.
This behavior is limited to systems using HP ProLiant or Integrity server blades with a FlexFabric Mezzanine
adapter and a corresponding FCoE connection to an HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port module. This
behavior does not appear for FCoE connections using an embedded FlexFabric adapter (LOM).
For more detailed information, see Customer Advisory c02950493 on the HP website
(http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02950493).
Issue
The HP VC 8 Gb 24-Port FC Module does not respond to the HP Insight Control cpqHoGUID MIB request and
is reported as an error.
Workaround
Remove the FC module from the query.
Issue
HP Systems Insight Manager might incorrectly identify the HP VC 8 Gb 24-Port FC module as a SAN switch
due to the incorrect value returned in the SysObjectOid.
Issue
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.
