Performing VC Domain Maintenance

IMPORTANT:

You must select VC Domain Maintenance... to update VC firmware for VC Domains

with VC firmware earlier than 3.5x. If you are only updating the firmware, select Cancel VC Domain
Maintenance instead of Complete VC Domain Maintenance because there is no need to propagate
the configuration changes from the VC Domain configuration to the other VC Domains in the same
VC Domain Group. However, if you use maintenance mode to upgrade VC firmware and want
to save time by cancelling rather than completing VC Domain Maintenance in order to avoid
propagating the base configuration, ensure that you do not to make any other changes while in
maintenance mode. Cancelling maintenance will roll back any configuration changes except for
the updated firmware in addition to skipping propagation.

For VC firmware 3.5x and later, you can use maintenance mode or firmware update mode. See

“Updating VC firmware” (page 22)

for more information.

The VC Domain maintenance operation is comprised of these steps:

1.

Initiate the VC Domain Maintenance.

2.

Perform changes through the VCM Web interface.
