HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide
HP Virtual Connect Manager  53 
Logging on to the HP Virtual Connect Manager GUI 
Log on using the user name (Administrator) and password. 
You can optionally specify the authentication method or VCM role at log on: 
•  To specify the authentication method (local, ldap, radius, tacacs), enter the authentication method 
followed by a colon before the user name. For example, ldap:user1. 
•  To specify the VCM role (domain, network, server, storage), enter the role followed by a colon before 
the user name. For example, network:user1. 
For more information on authentication methods and VCM roles, see information about Virtual Connect users 
and roles in the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide on the Installing tab of the HP 
BladeSystem Technical Resources website (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation). 
If the default password for the Administrator user has been changed and needs to be restored, see "Resetting 
the Administrator password and DNS settings (on page 117)." 
Logon problems might be caused by the following:   
•  You have recently upgraded the VCM firmware. You might have to clear the browser cache before 
attempting to log on again. 
•  The information is not being entered correctly. User names and passwords are case-sensitive.  
•  The account being entered is not an account for VCM.  
•  The account being entered has been deleted, disabled, or locked out.  
•  The password for the account needs to be changed.  
•  There is no connection to the primary VC-Enet module running VCM. 
•  VCM is undergoing a failover or recovery.
