Introduction What's New This version of the command line interface user guide contains the following changes: • Support for the HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Servers This server is a multi-blade server, which has one bay identified as the monarch bay. All operations on the multi-blade server are done on the monarch bay, although the operation, such as power on or assigning a profile, affects the entire multi-blade server. • Removed the update firmware command.
The Virtual Connect Ethernet modules can also be connected to other devices, such as printers, laptops, rack servers, and storage devices. To connect to devices other than switches, create a VC network for that device and only connect uplinks for that network to that device. If you connect uplinks from that network to other devices, one of the uplinks becomes standby due to the loop avoidance algorithm.
Command line syntax CLI input is case-insensitive except when otherwise noted.
The general format of a CLI option is as follows: -
commands. Supporting comments and blank lines enables users to maintain descriptive comments and notes in the configuration script more easily. When using a Linux SSH client, simply redirect the script into SSH. If the SSH keys are not configured on the client and in the firmware, a password prompt appears. To allow script automation and better security, SSH public/private key-pairs can be generated and uploaded to the public key to the VC firmware. >ssh Admin@192.168.0.120 < myscript.
# Create a Shared Uplink Port Set add uplinkset SharedSet1 # Assign a profile to a device bay assign profile MyProfile enc0:1 # Done!!! Unassigning multiple profiles In previous firmware releases, if the user needed to unassign multiple profiles from several device bays, the unassign profile command could be used at the command line. When many profiles need to be unassigned, sending a command for each server profile to be unassigned can be tedious.
GETTING STARTED: help : displays a list of available subcommands exit : quits the command shell ? : displays a list of managed elements for a subcommand ? : displays detailed help for a command -> Non-Interactive Mode In some cases, users might want to write automated scripts that execute a single command at a time. These scripts can be used to batch several commands in a single script file from the SSH client.
Example 3: Displaying all external uplink that have a link established ->show uplinkport status=linked Example 4: Displaying all uplink ports with connector type of RJ-45 and speed configured to Auto ->show uplinkport type=RJ45 Speed=Auto Example 5: Displaying all servers currently powered on ->show server power=On Introduction 12

ships with default MAC addresses, Virtual Connect has the ability to assign MAC addresses that will override the factory default MAC addresses while the server remains in that Virtual Connect enclosure. When configured to assign MAC addresses, Virtual Connect securely manages the MAC addresses by accessing the physical NICs through the enclosure Onboard Administrator and the iLO interfaces on the individual server blades.
Creating an enet-network To create a new Ethernet network use the add network command: >add network MyNetworkName Modifying enet-network properties To modify Ethernet network properties, use the set network command: >set network MyNetworkName state=enabled name=NewName smartlink=enabled Displaying enet-networks To display Ethernet network properties, use the show network command: • Summary display >show network • Detailed display >show network * • Single network display > show network MyNetwork Add
IMPORTANT: If you are deploying a server where VLAN tags will be used (added) on the server itself, do not connect the server Ethernet port carrying VLAN-tagged traffic to a shared uplink set. Identifying an associated network as the native VLAN causes all untagged incoming Ethernet packets to be placed onto this network. Only one associated network can be designated as the native VLAN. All out-going Ethernet packets are VLAN tagged.
Fibre Channel setup To configure external Fibre Channel connectivity for the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, do the following: 1. Identify WWNs to be used on the server blades deployed within this Virtual Connect Domain. 2. Define SAN fabrics. Configuring WWN address ranges • VC-Defined >set domain WwnType=VC-Defined WwnPool=5 • Factory-Default >set domain WwnType=Factory-Default Each server blade FC HBA mezzanine card ships with factory default port and node WWNs for each FC HBA port.
Configuring serial number ranges VC-defined > set serverid Type=VC-Defined PoolId=5 Factory-Default > set serverid Type=Factory-Default When using the HP-defined serial number ranges, be sure that each range is used only once within the environment. Server profile overview A Virtual Connect server profile is a logical grouping of attributes related to server connectivity that can be assigned to a server blade.
IMPORTANT: Before assigning a profile, unassigning a profile, or modifying a profile, be sure to review the "Server blade power on and power off guidelines." • When assigning a VC-Assigned serial number (logical), the server must be powered off. • FC SAN connections are shown in server profile screens only when there is an HP Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module in the enclosure managed by Virtual Connect. FC SAN connections are added in pairs and cannot be deleted.
Adding enet-network connections to a profile To add a new Ethernet network connection to an existing server profile, use the add enet-connection command: >add enet-connection MyProfile network=MyNetwork pxe=enabled To add a multiple network Ethernet connection on a server port, use the following commands: >add enet-connection MyProfile pxe=enabled >add server-port-map MyProfile:1 MyNetwork VlanID=100 If the domain setting for SharedServerVlanID is set to true, then the VlanID property cannot be modified.
(and update their MAC caches appropriately.) This transmission sequence repeats a few times at the MAC refresh interval (5 seconds recommended) and completes in about 1 minute. IMPORTANT: Be sure to set switches to allow MAC addresses to move from one port to another without waiting for an expiration period or causing a lock out.
Operation Examples >reboot server * Unassign a server profile from a device bay >unassign profile MyProfile Modify Ethernet network connection properties >set enet-connection MyProfile 1 pxe=disabled >set fc-connection MyProfile 2 speed=auto Modify FC fabric connections Resetting the Virtual Connect Manager To reset the Virtual Connect Manager, use the reset vcm command: >reset vcm >reset vcm [-failover] Administrator privileges are required for this operation.
