HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide

HP Virtual Connect Manager 55
Plan your interconnect module usage carefully before running the Virtual Connect Domain Setup Wizard.
After an interconnect bay is configured for use with a VC module, it remains configured for that module type
until the module is removed or the overall VC domain is deleted. Virtual Connect reports failures for any VC
module that is removed from the domain.
Before getting started, perform the following tasks:
• Verify that the HP Onboard Administrator is running the latest firmware (must be v3.21 or later).
• Note the following information from the Default Network Settings label attached to the primary module:
o DNS name
o User name
o Password
• Connect any Ethernet module stacking cables ("Recommended stacking connections" on page 21).
After logging in for the first time, the Virtual Connect Domain Setup Wizard appears. This wizard walks you
through the following tasks:
• Importing the enclosure (creating the domain)
• Naming the domain
• Administrating local users
If the wizard is canceled before the enclosure is imported, you are returned to the Virtual Connect Home
page. To restart the wizard, select Domain Setup Wizard from the Tools menu on the home page. You must
have domain privileges to access the Domain Setup Wizard.
Local Enclosure
To communicate with other VC modules and server blades, VCM requires the logon credentials for the local
Onboard Administrator.
