IMPORTANT:
In a new environment when adding VC Domains to into the VC Domain Group
you must have one configured VC Domain. Any additional VC Domains can remain
non-configured as they are automatically configured by VCEM. For an environment with
existing already configured VC Domains, simply create a VC Domain Group for the VC
Domains.
You can continue using VCEM and its additional functions such as creating server profiles and
assigning them to bays.
VCEM uses a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection provided by HP SIM. For more information
about the available cipher suites and how to enable or disable them, see the Understanding HP
SIM security white paper at
VCEM uses the same TCP ports as HP SIM. VCEM does not open any other TCP ports.
Upgrading incompatible firmware modes and versions
If unsupported VC Domain firmware versions are detected at the end of a VCEM 6.2 upgrade, a
warning message similar to the following is displayed:
VCEM detected unsupported VC firmware. For information on how to upgrade your firmware, run the Insight Software
Advisor or refer to the VCEM User Guide troubleshooting section.
