to it. For more information on creating a new VC Domain Group, see
IMPORTANT:
In a new environment when adding VC Domains to into the VC Domain Group
you must have one configured VC Domain. Any additional VC Domains can remain
non-configured as they are automatically configured by VCEM. For an environment with
existing already configured VC Domains, simply create a VC Domain Group for the VC
Domains.
You can continue using VCEM and its additional functions such as creating server profiles and
assigning them to bays.
VCEM uses a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection provided by HP System Insight Manager. For
more information about the available cipher suites and how to enable or disable them, see the
Understanding HP SIM security white paper at
VCEM uses the same TCP ports as HP SIM. VCEM does not open any other TCP ports.
Upgrading incompatible firmware modes and versions
If unsupported VC Domain firmware versions are detected at the end of a VCEM 6.3 upgrade, a
warning message similar to the following is displayed:
VCEM detected unsupported VC firmware. For information on how to upgrade your firmware, run the Insight Software
Advisor or refer to the VCEM User Guide troubleshooting section.
Upgrade to a supported VC firmware by performing the following steps:
1.
Select the VC Domain with an incompatible status and click VC Domain Maintenance.
2.
Upgrade the managed VC Domains to the minimum VCEM supported VC firmware version.
See the HP Insight Software Support Matrix or
“Installation prerequisites” (page 15)
for the
VCEM supported VC firmware versions.

Click Complete VC Domain Maintenance to close the operation.

Upgrade the VC Domain Group firmware mode to the minimum VCEM supported VC firmware.
