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 VCM. 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 you to upgrade, replace, or move servers within your
enclosures without changes being visible to the external LAN/SAN environments.
Before getting started, perform the following tasks:
•
Verify that the HP Onboard Administrator is running the latest firmware (must be v3.21 or later).
•
Note the following information from the Default Network Settings label attached to the primary module:
o
DNS name
o
User name
o
Password
•
Connect any Ethernet module stacking cables.
IMPORTANT:
After a CLI command has completed, it can take up to 90 seconds before
configuration changes are stored in persistent memory. Disruptive actions such as power 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
