Domain setup
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 Virtual Connect Manager. 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 administrators to upgrade, replace, or
move servers within their enclosures without changes being visible to the external LAN/SAN environments.
Before starting, perform the following tasks:
• Verify that the Onboard Administrator is running the latest firmware.
• Locate the Default Network Settings label attached to the primary Ethernet or FlexFabric module and
note the following information:
o DNS name
o User name
o Password
• Connect any Ethernet module stacking cables.
After logging in, perform the following tasks to set up the domain:
1. Import the enclosure.
2. Name the domain.
3. Set up local user accounts and privileges.

>import enclosure username=Administrator password=myPassword

The Virtual Connect domain name must be unique within the data center, and can be up to 31 characters
without spaces or special characters.
