To enable new features in VC 3.70/3.75, you must upgrade to VCEM 7.1.1 or later and upgrade
VC domains and VCDGs to 3.30 or later. VCEM 7.1.1 does not support VC versions prior to 3.30.

add a fresh VC 3.70/3.75 installation to your existing VCDG:

checkbox on the Ethernet Settings (Advanced Settings) screen (on page 90 ), or run the following
VCM CLI command:
set statistics-throughput Enabled=false
— 3.30-3.60 VCDG with statistics throughput enabled—Add the domain as is. No change is
required.
o In VC 3.70/3.75, the VLAN Capacity is set to Expanded by default. You must do the following to
add a fresh VC 3.70/3.75 installation to your existing VCDG:
