o Configurable role operations must be delegated to one of the following roles if they are to be
performed while the domain is in Maintenance Mode: Network, Storage, or Domain.
Administrators logging into VCM with a Server role account while the domain is in Maintenance
mode will be denied access to perform delegated operations such as exporting support files,
updating firmware, configuring port monitoring, or saving or restoring domain configuration.
o In VC 4.30/4.31, the telemetry port throughput is Enabled by default. You must do the following to
add a fresh VC 4.30/4.31 installation to your existing VCDG:
— 3.30-3.70 VCDG with statistics throughput disabled—Clear the Enable Throughput Statistics
check box on the Ethernet Settings (Advanced Settings) screen ("Ethernet Networks (Advanced
Settings)" on page 97), or run the following VCM CLI command:
set statistics-throughput Enabled=false
— 3.30-3.70 VCDG with statistics throughput enabled—Add the domain as is. No change is
required.
o In VC 4.30/4.31, the VLAN Capacity is set to Expanded by default. You must do the following to
add a fresh VC 4.30/4.31 installation to your existing VCDG:
— 3.30-3.70 with Legacy VLAN VCDG—You cannot add the domain. Select a different VCDG.
— 3.30-3.70 with Enhanced VLAN VCDG—Add the domain as is. No change is required.
