Configuring the Virtual Connect domain using the CLI 40
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 getting started, perform the following tasks:
• Verify that the HP Onboard Administrator is running the latest firmware (must be at least v1.30 or
later).
• Locate the Default Network Settings label attached to the HP 1/10Gb VC-Enet module in
interconnect module bay 1 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
9 )."
