HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-port Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 6)

Introduction 6
Restrictions and limitations
• A VCSU update operation can be performed from a server blade in the same enclosure that is being
updated. However, this feature is supported only when using a redundant network configuration on the
server blade running the VCSU client.
• This version of VCSU supports c3000 and c7000 enclosures.
• The utility does not update modules that are powered off, non-functional, or not physically present. A
status message indicates whether any modules are in these states.
• The utility does not update unknown or unsupported module types, including pass-thru Ethernet and FC
modules.
• HTTP and HTTPS downloads are restricted to non-authenticated websites.
• FTP downloads are restricted to non-SSL/TLS, Passive Transfer Mode FTP sites.
• IP addresses that are not accessible time out within 20 seconds. IP addresses that have an active
SSL-enabled web server, but not an OA, fail immediately.
• Only IPv4 addresses are supported in this release.
• Prior to running VCSU, ensure that the maximum supported number of local user accounts for the
Onboard Administrator has not been reached. For multi-enclosure domains, verify this information for
each enclosure in the domain.
• VCSU does not use any root certificates to connect to OA and VC.
