Chapter 6: Using Visual Manager
After the VT5900-SA finishes rebooting, the HTTP session will have to be restarted. The IP
address will be different than the former non-DHCP IP address.
A DHCP server may allow the setup of a lease reservation for an IP address if provided with
the MAC address of the VT5900-SA. This forces the DHCP server to always provide the same
IP address to the VT5900-SA. This setup is useful for remote management of the VT5900-SA
via Telnet or Visual Manager. Because the method of setting up a lease reservation varies
depending on the DHCP server, it is recommended to contact your Network Administrator for
assistance.
• Override Settings are provided to enhance interoperability with some storage devices that
require special consideration during setup of the VT5900-SA configuration menus. To access
the Overrides Settings, select the Go button.
Figure 6-7. Overrides Settings screen
To finalize any changes for the override settings, select the Submit button beneath the
override menu options.
• MAC address is the Ethernet physical address of the VT5900-SA. Ethernet physical
addresses are always assigned to Ethernet adapters by the manufacturers.
Note: To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet network
connected to the VT5900-SA. If the DHCP feature is used when there is no DHCP server, the
standard for DHCP requires that the VT5900-SA wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP
server before timing out. During this period, the VT5900-SA menus and functions will not be
accessible.
Note: Normally, override settings should not be changed except when directed to do so by
an authorized HP technician.
