HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 20-port Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 62)

HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures 62
• The VC-FC and FlexFabric FC-configured uplink port configuration must be identical across all
enclosures.
• The Onboard Administrator firmware must be version 3.11 or higher. HP recommends using the latest
version available. For IPv6, see the requirements listed in Appendix C: Using IPv6 with Virtual Connect
(on page 301 ) .
• All Onboard Administrators must use the same user credentials because VCSU uses the primary
credentials for the remote enclosure.
• When both Primary and Standby modules in the base enclosure are taken down for maintenance or
lose power and are no longer present in the domain, the management capabilities in the VC domain
are lost. If network and fabric uplinks are defined on the remaining enclosures, the servers continue to
have network and storage access. Both the Primary and Standby modules in the base enclosure must be
recovered to regain management access to the VC domain.
For more information, see the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide on the
