Some IP addresses must be avoided
If you use HAFM to manage other M-Series Fabric Directors and Edge Switches, do not use IP addresses
in the following range:
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255—This subnet is used internally by the HAFM Appliance. Using an IP
address in this range causes the Call Home feature to function incorrectly.
Logging out of Microsoft Windows after a ccess to HAFM appliance is
recommended
After you access the HAFM appliance desktop via a web browser using the TightVNC application, HP
recommends that you log out of Microsoft Windows before disconnecting your web browser access.
This

to access the HAFM appliance. When the new user at tempts to log into the HAFM appliance, the
Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, and a Windows user name a nd password are required to
acce
ss the H AFM appliance Windows desktop. HAFM remote client access does not require the HAFM
appliance to be logged in to Windows.
