HP Virtual Connect Manager Command Line Interface for c-Class BladeSystem Version 3.10/3.15 User Guide

Configuring the Virtual Connect domain using the CLI 111
o
Configure FC SNMP settings
It is possible to create a user with no privileges. This user can only view status and settings.
NOTE: The vcmuser_ account is an internal Onboard Administrator account created and used
by Virtual Connect Manager to communicate with the Onboard Administrator. This account can
show up in the Onboard Administrator system log. This account cannot be changed or deleted.
Configuring LDAP authentication support for users
• Set LDAP properties
>set ldap serveraddress=192.168.0.110 enabled=true
• Add or Remove LDAP directory groups
>add ldap-group MyNewGroup description="This is my test group"
privileges=domain,server,network
• Enable or Disable local users
>set ldap localusers=disabled
• Display LDAP settings and directory groups
>show ldap
>show ldap-group
Network setup
To establish external Ethernet network connectivity for the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, do the
following:
1. Identify the MAC addresses to be used on the server blades deployed within this Virtual Connect
domain.
2. Setup connections from the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure to the external Ethernet networks.
These connections can be uplinks dedicated to a specific Ethernet network or shared uplinks that carry
multiple Ethernet networks with the use of VLAN tags.
Configuring MAC Address ranges
• Use VC-Defined MAC addresses
>set domain MacType=VC-Defined MacPool=10
• Use factory-default MAC addresses
>set domain MacType=Factory-Default
• Set user-defined MAC addresses
>set domain MacType=User-Defined MacStart=00-17-A4-77-00-00
MacEnd=00-17-A4-77-00-FF
IMPORTANT: Configuring Virtual Connect to assign server blade MAC addresses requires
careful planning to ensure that the configured range of MAC addresses is used once within the
environment. Duplicate MAC addresses on an Ethernet network can result in a server network
outage.
Each server blade Ethernet NIC ships with a factory default MAC address. The MAC address is a 48-bit
number that uniquely identifies the Ethernet interface to other devices on the network. While the hardware
