Accessing HP Virtual Connect Manager
Access to the Virtual Connect Manager is over the same Ethernet connection used to access the enclosure
Onboard Administrator and server blade iLO connections.
There are four ways to access HP Virtual Connect Manager:
• If running dynamic DNS on the management network, locate the Default Network Settings label on
the module in interconnect bay 1, and then type the DNS name into the address field of the web
browser.
If you are not running dynamic DNS, use the Onboard Administrator to access the Virtual Connect
Manager.
• Log on to the enclosure Onboard Administrator. From the enclosure overview screen, select the
Virtual Connect Manager link from the left navigation window. The Onboard Administrator firmware
must be version 2.25 or higher.
• Log on to the enclosure Onboard Administrator. Select Interconnect Bays in the left navigation
window of the Onboard Administrator user interface to display the Interconnect Bays summary
screen. Select the Management URL link for the Virtual Connect Ethernet module in bay 1.
The Virtual Connect Manager typically runs on the Virtual Connect Ethernet module in bay 1 unless
that module becomes unavailable, causing a failover to the Virtual Connect Manager running in bay
2. If you cannot connect to the Virtual Connect Manager in bay 1, try connecting to the management
URL for bay 2.
• Access the Virtual Connect Manager CLI remotely through an SSH session.
