Restrictions and limitations

A VCSU update operation can be performed from a server blade in the same enclosure that is being
updated. However, this feature is supported only when using a redundant network configuration on the

server blade running the VCSU client.

This version of VCSU supports c3000 and c7000 enclosures.

The utility does not update modules that are powered off, non-functional, or not physically present. A
status message indicates whether any modules are in these states.

The utility does not update unknown or unsupported module types, including pass-thru Ethernet and FC
modules.

HTTP and HTTPS downloads are restricted to non-authenticated websites.

FTP downloads are restricted to non-SSL/TLS, Passive Transfer Mode FTP sites.

IP addresses that are not accessible time out within 20 seconds. IP addresses that have an active
SSL-enabled web server, but not an OA, fail immediately.

Only IPv4 addresses are supported in this release.

Prior to running VCSU, ensure that the maximum supported number of local user accounts for the

Onboard Administrator has not been reached. For multi-enclosure domains, verify this information for
each enclosure in the domain.

VCSU does not use any root certificates to connect to OA and VC.
