Upgrading VC Domain Group firmware mode
IMPORTANT: VC Domain Group firmware mode does not allow a downgrade of a VC Domain
Group firmware version. You must verify that the VC firmware versions for the VC Domains within
the VC Domain Group are later than the current VC Domain Group firmware version. Otherwise,
the upgrade firmware mode for the VC Domain Group will not be allowed.
Upgrading the VC Domain Group firmware mode enables you to upgrade the VC firmware mode
of the VC Domain Group according to the VC firmware versions of the VC Domains that belong
to the VC Domain Group. To upgrade the VC Domain Group firmware mode to a later version:
1.
Select to the VC Domain Group to be upgraded.
2. From the VC Domain Groups page, click Upgrade Firmware Mode.
IMPORTANT: the Upgrade Firmware Mode feature is used to control what firmware level
will be used for the VC Domain Group as a whole. For example, if the FW mode of the VC
Domain Group is 3.15, then the base VC Domain configuration data and profile operations
will all behave as though they contain VC FW 3.15. This allows you to gradually upgrade
the individual VC Domain firmware levels to a later version, and then when the last VC Domain
firmware is upgraded, clicking the Upgrade Firmware Mode button signals the VC Domain
Group as a whole to start operating at the later firmware version.
However, not all VC firmware upgrades provide a new group firmware mode option. For
example, VC firmware releases 3.15 through 3.18 all use 3.15 group firmware mode. New
VC Domain Group firmware options typically correlate to significant new features in the VC
firmware
The base VC Domain configuration data is the foundational information that defines the
capabilities of a VC Domain. For more information on base VC Domain configuration data,
see
“Replicating VC Domain Group configurations to other VC Domains during VC Domain
Maintenance” (page 43) .
The Upgrade Firmware Mode feature allows you to set the minimum acceptable VC firmware
version for any VC domain in this VC domain group.
