HP Official Manual for Virtual Connect Firmware: Troubleshooting and Updates

•If a Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port FC Module and a Brocade 8 Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class are in the same enclosure, collecting a VC supportdump may cause the Brocade 8 Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class to panic.

•Server ports changed from factory MAC addresses to VC MAC addresses with a pass-through module.

•The following Cisco cables QSFP-H40G-ACU7M and QSFP-4SFP10G-CU5M show up as Unrecognized instead of Linked (non-HP) for all connections except for when the splitter end is attached to the FlexFabric 20/40 module, in which case it should show Not Linked.

•Addressed CVE-2013-2566.

•LLDP ChassisId TLV is not the VC module MAC Address. New VCM CLI command 'set lldp enhancedTlv=false' allows ChassisId TLV to be the MAC Address of the VC module.

•Maximum characters allowed in LDAP Group Description when using CLI is now set to 20 characters, the same limitation as the GUI.

•After a VC firmware update or VC module reboot, some downlink ports could intermittently show DCC as unavailable.

•Mismatch between sysName in SNMP and system name TLV in LLDP.

•When using VCSU manual activation on HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Modules during a firmware update, hosts will not be able to log in through the FC uplinks after the standby module is activated/rebooted until a VCM failover is initiated or if the primary module is activated/rebooted.

Issues and workarounds

Issue

The text size of the Set/Clear SSH Key buttons are not displayed properly under SSH Key Administration in Internet Explorer 11.

Workaround

Set a readable text size in Internet Explorer. Click on View→Text size→Smaller.

Issue

The “show config” command generates a network map configuration using a list of server VLAN IDs from the “server-port-map-range” command. The “show config” output displays “Network not found” for multiple networks where the server VLAN ID is different from the SUS VLAN ID.

Workaround

Identify the specific “server-port-map-range” command in the “show config” output, and then replace it with the “server-port-map” command and appropriate network name and VLAN ID.

Issue

When users with Network Role privileges finish the Network Setup Wizard, the final page displays a ”Start Fibre Channel Setup Wizard” checkbox. After clicking the Finish button to proceed, VCM returns a NULL error.

Workaround

In the top banner of the GUI, click the 'Home' link to exit the wizard and return to the home screen.
