HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.1 Release Notes

To validate that the problem has been corrected, browse to the Virtual Connect Managers that showed
the incorrect message to ensure that the correct message is displayed.
• Using VCEM 1.40 or 6.0 to disable SNMP on Virtual Connect Manager 2.30 can result in improper
propagation of SNMP enablement to the VC Domain Group. This issue occurs if you use either VCEM
1.40 or 6.0 to disable SNMP for VC Ethernet or Fibre Channel modules and the following conditions
exist:
• The VC Domain Group contains a combination of VC firmware version 2.30 and earlier firmware
such as 2.10 or 2.0x.
• You select a VC Domain running VC firmware 2.30, put it into VC Domain Maintenance, and use
the Virtual Connect Manager user interface to disable SNMP.
While a permanent fix will be provided in a future VC firmware release, you can resolve this issue by
performing these steps:
1. Select a non-version 2.30 firmware VC Domain in the VC Domain Group. For example, select a
VC Domain with a 2.0x or 2.10 firmware.
2. Put the VC Domain into VC Domain Maintenance.
3. In maintenance mode, use the Virtual Connect Manager user interface to disable SNMP.
4. Return to the VCEM user interface and accept the VC Domain maintenance changes. This action
causes VCEM to propagate a SNMP disabled status to all members in the VC Domain Group.
• VCEM cannot manage a VC Domain that configures a Shared Uplink Set or Ethernet Network with the
following:
• Connection mode set to Failover
• More than one port with Port Role value set to Primary or no Port Role set to Primary
To resolve the issue, access Virtual Connect Manager and set one port to be the primary.
• VCEM cannot manage a VC Domain that configures an Ethernet Uplink Port with a Speed/Duplex
value as Disabled. VCEM always replicates the VC Domain configuration with Speed/Duplex set to
Auto.
However, VCEM does not prevent you from adding such VC Domain to a VC Domain Group.
• VCEM fails to add a VC Domain that configures an Ethernet Uplink Port with a Speed/Duplex value
as Disabled to the same VC Domain Group to which it previously belonged.
To resolve the issue, perform the following steps after the Add to VC Domain Group job failure:
1. Go to the Virtual Connect Manager user interface.
2. Select values for the Speed/Duplex of Ethernet Uplink Ports according to VC Domain Group Ethernet
Uplink Port values.
3. Go to VCEM and re-add the VC Domain to the same VC Domain Group.
• VCEM cannot create a VC Domain Group or add a VC Domain to a VC Domain Group when a backup
VC module is discovered or if a failover of a VC module occurred in a redundancy environment. The
following error message appears:
The VC Domain [<VC Domain Name>] cannot be managed by VCEM. A possible
cause is that the current state of the VC Domain is unknown. Verify HP
Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is referencing the primary VC Module. If
not, run HP SIM discovery to update the reference.
To resolve this issue, perform a rediscovery on the Onboard Administrator IP address associated with
the VC Module and perform the VCEM operation again.

System performance can slow down on the Jobs page when the number of jobs exceeds 20,000. To maximize
system performance, delete old jobs before the total number reaches this limit.
