Enclosure troubleshooting 48
CAUTION:
If you are using a Virtual Connect environment, some of these procedures might
cause the loss of Virtual Connect credentials and the loss of communication between the Onboard
Administrator and the Virtual Connect Interconnect module. Ensure the Virtual Connect
configuration is backed up before proceeding with any of the following procedures. Virtual
Connect configuration can be backed up by using Virtual Connect GUI or Virtual Connect
Support Utility.
CAUTION:
To avoid data loss, do not remove an Onboard Administrator when the Insight
Display shows a firmware update in progress. During this activity, the Insight Display displays the
Firmware Update screen with the Lock icon and the firmware update progress bar.
