Performing the firmware update using the VC Domain Maintenance
capability
CAUTION:
Do not update to VC firmware 3.70 if the VC Domain Group firmware mode is 3.15.
This is because VC firmware 3.70 is not compatible with VC firmware 3.15. If you update to VC
firmware 3.70, your only options are to either remove the updated VC Domain from the VC Domain
Group, or to use VCSU to downgrade the VC Domain firmware to the previous version.
HP recommends that you update to the VC Domain Group firmware version to VC firmware 3.30
or later before attempting to update a VC Domain in the VC Domain Group to VC firmware 3.70.
See
“Updating to VC firmware 3.7x” (page 23)
for more information.
1.
From the VC Domains screen, select a VC Domain.
2.
Click VC Domain Maintenance.
3.
Click Make changes via VC Domain. VCM appears in a separate browser window. The VC
Domain Maintenance information indicates that the VC Domain is unlocked for domain,

Upgrade the firmware with the HP Virtual Connect Support Utility. See the HP BladeSystem
c-Class Virtual Connect Support Utility User Guide at

Enterprise Manager is executing the request
message appears with a job ID
