HP Virtual Connect 1.10Gb-F Ethernet Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 29)

Component identification 29
The recommended password recovery procedure is as follows:
1. Remove the Virtual Connect Ethernet module from interconnect bay 1.
2. Remove the access panel from the Virtual Connect Ethernet module.
3. Set switch 1 to the ON position. Ensure that all other switches remain in the OFF position.
4. Install the access panel.
5. Insert the Virtual Connect Ethernet module into bay 1 and allow the module to power up and reach a
fully booted and operational state (approximately 1 minute).
6. Remove the Virtual Connect Ethernet module from interconnect bay 2.
This causes interconnect bay 1 to become the module running the active VC Manager. Because
switch 1 is set, the Administrator password remains at the factory default for interconnect bay 1 (not
overwritten by the change of state because of the failover).
7. Wait to ensure that the VC Manager has had time to become active on interconnect bay 1. Log into
the VC Manager to confirm it is up and functional on interconnect bay 1.
8. Insert the Virtual Connect Ethernet module into interconnect bay 2 and allow the module to power on
and reach a fully booted and operational state (approximately 1 minute).
9. Remove the Virtual Connect Ethernet module from interconnect bay 1.
10. Remove the access panel from the Virtual Connect Ethernet module.
11. Set switch 1 to the OFF position. Ensure that all other switches remain in the OFF position.
12. Install the access panel.
13. Insert the Virtual Connect Ethernet module into interconnect bay 1 and allow the module to power up
and reach a fully booted and operation state (approximately 1 minute).
14. Log into the VC Manager using the factory default user name and password to log in to the module
(regardless of whether it is running on the module in interconnect bay 1 or interconnect bay 2).
15. Change the Administrator password.
Warning messages
When a warning icon appears in the banner at the top of a page, mouse over the icon to view important
information.
Warning message: VC-Enet Module DIP switches are not configured for normal operation.
Additional information: Set the switches to the recommended configuration. See the appropriate system
maintenance switch.
Warning message: Administrator password reset switch is set.
Additional information: Set the switches to the recommended configuration. See the appropriate system
maintenance switch.
Warning message: Port monitoring is enabled.
Additional information: Port monitoring is configured and enabled within this Virtual Connect domain.
Ethernet data from the monitored ports is replicated on the network analyzer port, which poses a security
risk and could result in network loops if not connected properly. To disable or reconfigure port
monitoring, see "Ethernet Settings (Port Monitoring) screen (on page
111 )."
Warning message: A firmware update is in progress.
