Prerequisites
VCEM 6.2 can be installed as a new console or used to update existing installations of VCEM
1.20, 1.3x, 1.40, 6.0 or 6.1, and is delivered on Insight Software media 6.2 which can be downloaded

Issues and workarounds
IMPORTANT: VCEM 6.2 supports the Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) browser, but the
underlying Virtual Connect Manager only supports IE8 in IE7 compatibility mode. Using IE8 to
perform VCEM Domain Maintenance tasks that access Virtual Connect Manager might result
in failed or incomplete operations. HP recommends Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) or Firefox
3.x as the preferred browsers for use with VCEM. For a list of browsers supported by Virtual
Connect Manager, see the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide.
Documentation change
Some changes need to be made to the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager Help files.
In the section “Assigning a server profile,” Step 3, disregard the following important note:
IMPORTANT: If the bay is displayed as covered, you will not be able to assign a server profile

Under the “Creating a server profile” section
• Remove “or FCoE” from the third bullet of the note following the title of the section.
• Step 7, disregard the following information : “You can add up to 8 connections per slice, for
a maximum of 4 slices and 32 connections. If you enter the maximum connections allowed,
Add is disabled and an error message is displayed.”
• Remove Step 9 and the note that follows it as show below:

connections based on the available number of HP VC FlexFabric10 GB/24-port modules.
New FCoE connections must be added at the end of this list and can only be removed from
the last connection to the first connection. You can add up to 8 connections per slice, for a
maximum of 4 slices and 32 connections. If you enter the maximum connections allowed,
Add is disabled and an error message is displayed
NOTE: If there are no SAN fabrics using the HP VC FlexFabric 10 Gb/24-port module
uplink ports, the FCoE connections can be configured as unassigned.
Under the “Editing a server profile section” remove Step 8 as follows:
