VCEM compatibility:
o
If you are running VCEM 6.3.1 or later to manage a VC 4.01 domain, the 4.01 domain can be in
a VCDG in 3.30 firmware mode or later. To enable new features in VC 4.01, you must upgrade to
VCEM 7.2 or later. VCEM 7.2 does not support VC versions prior to 3.30.
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 4.01, the telemetry port throughput is Enabled by default. You must do the following to add
a fresh VC 4.01 installation to your existing VCDG:
—
3.30-3.70 VCDG with statistics throughput disabled—Clear the Enable Throughput Statistics
checkbox on the Ethernet Settings (Advanced Settings) screen, 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 4.01, the VLAN Capacity is set to Expanded by default. You must do the following to add a
fresh VC 4.01 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.
•
For domains managed by VCEM, a server profile migration of a SAN-booted server between
enclosures within the same VCDG or between different VCDGs is not supported.
