Configuring the Virtual Connect domain using the
CLI
Basic configuration
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 HP Onboard Administrator is running the latest firmware (must be at least v2.20 or later).
•
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.
IMPORTANT:
After a CLI command is issued, it can take up to 90 seconds before configuration
changes are stored in persistent memory. Disruptive actions such as powering cycling an I/O
module within this time window can result in lost configuration changes.
The following sections provide the necessary steps to set up a basic domain.
For detailed information on a particular command, see "Managed elements (on page
