    Unsure… Maybe it’s answer D
    “VCSU 1.5.2 or earlier must be run from a client outside of the VC Domain being updated.”

    (pdf link in comment of Hdbien, page 5,6,7)

    [A] The VC domains must not be in Maintenance Mode, so the firmware updates have direct
    access.
    => wrong (“the Virtual Connect domain must be placed into Maintenance”)

    “When updating VC Domains that are under VCEM control, the Virtual Connect domain must be placed into Maintenance Mode or Firmware update mode before initiating the update. Maintenance mode is available for all versions of VCEM and VC firmware. The firmware update workflow requires VCEM 7.1 or later, together with VC v3.50 or later and VCSU 1.7.0 or later.”

    [B] The correct deployment order must be set.
    => wrong (not mentioned in the list of Firmware Update Requirements)

    [C] Multiple instances of the Virtual Connect Support Utility (VCSU) must be run, with multiple clients, to access an enclosure faster.
    => wrong (“Only one instance of the VCSU utility accessing a single enclosure or Virtual Connect domain can be run on the same client system at one time.”)

    “Only one instance of the VCSU utility accessing a single enclosure or Virtual Connect domain can be run on the same client system at one time. Using multiple VCSU clients to interface remotely with the same enclosure can interrupt the firmware update process and prevent it from completing successfully.”

    [D] The enclosure must not be part of a domain.
    => wrong (“VCSU version 1.6.0 and later may be executed from a client inside the VC Domain that is being updated.”)
    NB. “VCSU 1.5.2 or earlier must be run from a client outside of the VC Domain being updated.”

    “VCSU version 1.6.0 and later may be executed from a client inside the VC Domain that is being updated. VCSU 1.5.2 or earlier must be run from a client outside of the VC Domain being updated. If VCSU 1.5.2 or earlier resides on a server blade inside the domain that is being updated, VCSU may lose network connectivity to the VC Ethernet and Fibre Channel modules. This can cause unexpected firmware update failures and risks leaving the Virtual Connect Manager in non-operational state.”

    [E] The VC firmware must not be flashed before the configuration is backed up.
    => wrong (not mentioned in the list of Firmware Update Requirements)
