HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.1 Release Notes
Reinstalling Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager
If you attempt to remove an existing installation of VCEM and reinstall the same version or a later version,
you might see the following error message:
Failed to install Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager MAC/WWN database tables
To resolve this situation, reinstall VCEM again because although the first reinstall attempt failed, the registry
keys causing the problem are removed with the second installation attempt.
VC Domain Groups and VC Domain Management
• At times the network port speed configured as 10 Gb on a VC Domain that supports 10 Gb incorrectly
displays as Auto on a VC Domain that does not support 10 Gb.
This situation occurs when the Virtual Connect Manager user interface on the VC Domain without the
SFP-SR connector displays the network speed as Auto.
The Auto value appears only on the Virtual Connect Manager user interface. When VCEM attempts to
capture the network configuration from Virtual Connect Manager, the information returned is 10Gb and
not Auto.
To resolve this issue:
1. Access the Virtual Connect Manager user interface on the VC Domain that does not have the
SFP-SR connector.
2. Edit the network with the incorrectly labeled Auto port speed to use another port speed value (for
example, 1 Gb).
3. Save the edits.
4. Edit the network again, and set the port speed to Auto.
• Since the publication of the
HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User Guide
, the following changes

from the Add a SNMP Trap Destination page, the left side must be empty.
• Enhanced SNMP configuration is not supported bullet, Step 2, substep e: Trap categories must
equal Other for either VC-Enet traps or VC-FC traps. Do not select both.

• On the VC-FC Traps box, select Other.
• Enhanced SNMP configuration is not supported bullet, Step 2, Step 2, substep f must now read,
"To disable Virtual Connect Manager traps, from the Add a SNMP Trap Destination page, ensure

In addition, the screenshots accompanying this text were also updated since the publication of the user
guide. These changes will be reflected in future editions of the
HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager
User Guide
.

VCEM-managed VC Domain, the following error message appears:
