Installing HCM to a host from the HCM Agent
You can install HCM to any host system from a functioning HCM Agent on a server system. The
following are prerequisites for the server system:
• The adapter and driver package must be installed.
• The HCM agent must be running.
Use the following steps to install HCM:
1. Enter the following URL into your host system’s web browser:
https://server-host:34568/index.html
where:
server-host Is the IP address of a server system with the Brocade adapter and driver
installed and HCM Agent running.
34568 Is the TCP/IP port where the HCM Agent communicates with HCM.
2. Respond to prompts as required during HCM installation, and the HCM GUI will launch.
3. Log in to HCM when prompted.
To launch HCM in the future, use the HCM shortcut icon. On Windows, the shortcut is located under
Start menu > Brocade > Host Connectivity Manager. For Solaris, launch HCM from the command
prompt using the following command.
sh /opt/brocade/fchba/client/Host_Connectivity_Manager
