About HP Virtual Connect Manager
To view detailed product information, select About HP Virtual Connect Manager from the Help pull-down
menu.
Reset Virtual Connect Manager
You must have domain privileges to reset VCM. In a multi-enclosure environment, the VC-Enet modules in
bays 1 and 2 of the local enclosure host VCM. With VCM 3.10 and higher, the primary modules can be in
bays other than 1 and 2.
To reset VCM running on the primary VC-Enet module, select Reset Virtual Connect Manager from the Tools
pull-down menu. The Reset Virtual Connect Manager screen appears.
• If the Force Failover checkbox is selected and a VC-Enet module is available in the alternate
interconnect bay, the GUI is redirected to the alternate VC-Enet module for log on after the VCM has
restarted. Reset times depend on the size and complexity of the VC domain configuration.
• If the Force Failover checkbox is not selected or a VC-Enet module is not available in the alternate
interconnect bay, the VCM restarts on the current VC-Enet module, and you are presented the logon
screen for the current VC-Enet module after VCM restarts. Reset times depend on the size and
complexity of the VC domain configuration.
When resetting the VC-Enet module, VCM is temporarily unavailable. If failover is specified and a backup
VC-Enet module is available, you are logged off and redirected to the backup VC-Enet module IP address.
Recovering remote enclosures
If a previously saved configuration file is restored, the OA is reset to factory defaults, or the OA associated
with the remote enclosure is replaced, then the credentials of the remote enclosure must be restored. If the IP
link between the primary enclosure OA and the remote enclosure OA is lost, the remote enclosure is also
marked as NO-COMM. Ensure network connectivity before attempting credentials recovery.
Running the setup wizards
HP Virtual Connect Domain Setup Wizard
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 VCM. 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 you to upgrade, replace, or move servers within your
enclosures without changes being visible to the external LAN/SAN environments.
