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 getting started, perform the following tasks: 
•  Verify that the Onboard Administrator is running the latest firmware (must be at least v1.30 or later). 
•  Locate the Default Network Settings label attached to the HP 1/10Gb VC-Enet Module in 
interconnect module bay 1 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 setup the domain: 
1.  Import the enclosure. 
2.  Name the domain. 
3.  Set up local user accounts and privileges. 
Importing an enclosure

>import enclosure username=Administrator password=myPassword 
or 
>import enclosure username=Administrator 
Password=***** 
Setting the domain name 
To set the domain name, use the set domain command: 
>set domain name=MyNewDomainName

without spaces or special characters.
