Introduction
What's new
The user guide contains information about the following changes in VC 4.10:
• Manageability enhancements:
o VC management support for IPv6
IMPORTANT: Use of IPv6 requires OA and iLO from SPP 2013.09.0 (B) or higher SPP releases.
o Ability to hide unused FlexNICs. The FlexNICs (physical functions) that do not map to profile
connections are not enumerated in the OS as network interfaces.
o Auto-deployment feature, which allows for the configuration of a VC domain from a centralized
location using DHCP and TFTP
o Improved accommodation of non-HP DACs and FC transceivers. The port status condition "Non-HP"
replaces the "Uncertified" port status condition.
