group firmware
mode

Firmware level that a domain group operates at. VC firmware compatibility mode allows
administrators to update each domain in a domain group incrementally rather than requiring that

by suppressing new features that are not supported by the domain group firmware mode. There
are limitations on the VC firmware levels that can be made compatible by using VC firmware
compatibility mode.
