HP Virtual Connect Manager 14
Command Line Interface overview
The VCM Command Line Interface can be used as an alternative method for administering the VCM. Using
the CLI can be useful in the following scenarios:
• You can develop tools that utilize VCM functions for data collection and for executing provisioning and
configuration tasks.
• When no browser is available or you prefer to use a command line interface, you can access
management data and perform configuration tasks.
• You can batch commands using script files. These script files can be run manually or scheduled to run
automatically.
For more information, see the HP Virtual Connect Manager Command Line Interface for c-Class BladeSystem
User Guide on HP website ( http://www.hp.com/go/vc/manuals ).
Logging on to the HP Virtual Connect Manager GUI
Log on using the user name (Administrator) and password.
You can optionally specify the authentication method or VCM role at logon.
To specify the authentication method (local, ldap, radius, tacacs), enter the authentication method followed
by a colon before the user name. For example, ldap:user1.
To specify the VCM role (domain, network, server, storage), enter the role followed by a colon before the
user name. For example, network:user1.
For more information on authentication methods and VCM roles, see "Virtual Connect users and roles (on
page

If the default password for the Administrator user has been changed and needs to be restored, see
information about resetting the administrator password and DNS settings in the HP Virtual Connect for
c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide on the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/go/vc/manuals ).
