Workaround Add the following registry value: [HKLM\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Inte rnet Settings] "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:6 By default, this registry value does not exist and Internet Explorer 7 defaults to the value of 2.

If you made changes using a non-Administrator user account, before the next OA firmware upgrade or reset, execute the workaround documented in Customer Advisory c02639172 to ensure that the enclosure configuration changes are being persistently preserved. The issue described in Customer Advisory c02639172 is resolved with OA 3.21 and later. • The lowest VCEM 7.1.1 support compatibility mode is now set to VC 3.30. • If you are planning to use VC 3.75 firmware in a VCEM environment, HP recommends upgrading to VCEM v7.1.1. For more information about the VC firmware that is compatible with VCEM, see the Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User Guide on the HP website (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=Support Manual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64179&taskId=101&prodTypeId=18964&prodSeriesId=360 1866). • Customers using Insight Control for VMware vCenter Server should upgrade to version 6.3 when using Virtual Connect firmware version 3.30 and later. Version 6.3 fixes a known issue with version 6.2 where Virtual Connect data did not display correctly. • The Virtual Connect GUI requires a minimum of 512 MB of available memory to operate efficiently.

Prerequisites 10
Even though the VC iSCSI boot from SAN implementation allows you to select LUN values from 0-255, the
adapter firmware limits the supported LUN values to 0-8
Issue
Under certain circumstances, the checkpoint status icon in the GUI persists for a long time and is not cleared.
The CLI also shows a "Checkpoint Status: Invalid" status in the
show domain
command output. This
condition occurs periodically after a VCSU firmware upgrade of the VC module firmware.
Workaround
To resolve this issue, reset VCM on the primary module or reset the primary module using the OA.
Issue
When multiple Internet Explorer 7 browser sessions are open to the Virtual Connect Manager application,
the VC GUI might hang.
Workaround
Add the following registry value:
[HKLM\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Inte
rnet Settings] "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:6
By default, this registry value does not exist and Internet Explorer 7 defaults to the value of 2. Increasing
the value to 6 resolves the hanging issue. Internet Explorer 8 defaults to a value of 6, so this issue does
not occur. The Firefox web browser also defaults to a higher value.
