IMPORTANT:
VCEM 7.1.1 does not support VC firmware versions prior to VC 3.30. If you have
versions of VC firmware before 3.30 installed, an incompatible firmware icon is displayed, and
VCEM prevents most VC Domain, VC Domain Group, and server profile operations. You must
upgrade to VC firmware 3.3x. See
“Upgrading incompatible firmware modes and versions” (page
for more information. While VCEM does not support older firmware versions, both VCEM and
the Insight Managed System Setup Wizard will not prevent you from licensing these older firmware
versions.

Mixed VC firmware versions and compatibility in a VC Domain Group
VCEM enables firmware compatibility using current and future versions of VC firmware. This feature
provides both backward and forward VC firmware compatibility.
Backward compatibility for VC firmware
You can install VCEM 7.1.1 and run the latest VC firmware in a VC Domain Group that has an
earlier but supported firmware mode.
IMPORTANT:
The minimum supported firmware version in VCEM 7.1.1 is VC firmware 3.3x. If
you are upgrading from an earlier VCEM version managing VC Domains that have a VC firmware
version older than 3.3x, VCEM will mark those VC Domains and VC Domain Groups with an
incompatible firmware status.
You must upgrade the VC Domain firmware and the VC Domain Group firmware mode to 3.3x
or later before you can manage those VC Domains and VC Domain Groups with VCEM 7.1.1.
