Configuring the Virtual Connect domain using the CLI

Basic configuration

A Virtual Connect domain consists of an enclosure and a set of associated modules and server blades that are managed together by a single instance of the Virtual Connect Manager. The Virtual Connect domain contains specified networks, server profiles, and user accounts that simplify the setup and administration of server connections. Establishing a Virtual Connect domain enables administrators to upgrade, replace, or move servers within their enclosures without changes being visible to the external LAN/SAN environments.

Before getting started, perform the following tasks:

•Verify that the HP Onboard Administrator is running the latest firmware (must be at least v1.30 or later).

•Locate the Default Network Settings label attached to the HP 1/10Gb VC-Enet module in interconnect module bay 1 and note the following information:

o DNS name o User name o Password

•Connect any Ethernet module stacking cables

IMPORTANT: After a CLI command is issued, it can take up to 90 seconds before configuration changes are stored in persistent memory. Disruptive actions such as powering cycling an I/O module within this time window can result in lost configuration changes.

The following sections provide the necessary steps to set up a basic domain.

For detailed information on a particular command, see "Managed elements (on page 9)."

Logging in to the CLI

The Virtual Connect Manager CLI can be accessed remotely through any SSH session ("Remote access to the Virtual Connect Manager" on page 8):

•SSH

>ssh 192.168.0.120 login as: Administrator password:

•Local User Authentication using default Administrator login credentials

>ssh 192.168.0.120 login as: Administrator
