The Onboard Administrator firmware must be version 3.11 or higher. HP recommends using the latest version available.

All Onboard Administrators must use the same user credentials. VCSU uses the primary credentials for the remote enclosure.

When both Primary and Standby modules in the base enclosure are taken down for maintenance or lose power and are no longer present in the domain, the management capabilities in the VC domain are lost. Both the Primary and Standby modules in the base enclosure must be recovered to regain management access to the VC domain.

If network and fabric uplinks are defined on the remaining enclosures, the servers continue to have network and storage access.
