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.
If VC Ethernet Modules are configured for redundancy using a primary and secondary Ethernet module, the
user can use this feature to manually change which Virtual Connect Ethernet Module hosts the Virtual Connect

Manager. The feature can also force the Virtual Connect manager to restart without switching to the alternate
Virtual Connect Ethernet module. This feature can be useful when troubleshooting the Virtual Connect
manager. The network and FC processing of the Virtual Connect subsystem is not disturbed during the restart

or failover of the Virtual Connect Manager.
If the command line option -failover is included in the reset vcm command and a Virtual Connect

Ethernet secondary module is available, the command line displays the following message:

SUCCESS: The Virtual Connect Manager is being reset. Please wait...

The user is logged out of the session after approximately 1 minute. An attempted login to the same Virtual
Connect Ethernet Module is rejected with the following message:
