VCEM 6.2 does not support VC firmware 1.3x , 1.2x or 2.0x. If you have these
versions of VC firmware, an incompatible firmware icon is displayed and VCEM may prevent
some VC Domain, VC Domain group, and server profile operations. You must upgrade to at
least 2.1x. See
“Upgrading incompatible firmware modes and versions”
for more information.
While VCEM does not support these older firmware versions, both VCEM and the HP
Management System Software Wizard will not prevent you from licensing these older firmware
versions.
