After Upgrading Insight Dynamics
After you upgrade Insight Software products (including Insight Dynamics, Insight Control virtual

distribution media, there are several additional upgrade steps that you must perform before you can

1. Upgrade Virtual Connect domains and firmware.
2. Upgrade vCenter Server.
3. Configure VMware vCenter settings.
4. Check the summary screen and logs.
5. Check active and inactive logical servers, including underlying resources.
6. Check the storage and network of upgraded logical servers.
7. Check for inoperable logical servers.

firmware, you must upgrade to at least 2.0x.
After upgrading VCEM 1.40, VC Domain Groups that were using HP-predefined ranges for MAC

later do not use HP-predefined ranges for MAC and WWN addresses.
