Reset Virtual Connect Manager
Users must have Administrative privileges to reset the Virtual Connect Manager. To reset the Virtual
Connect Manager application running on the primary Virtual Connect Ethernet module, select Reset
Virtual Connect Manager from the Tools pull-down menu. The Reset Virtual Connect Manager screen is
displayed.
• If the Force Failover checkbox is selected and a Virtual Connect Ethernet module is available in the
alternate interconnect bay (interconnect Bays 1 and 2 can host the Virtual Connect Manager), the
GUI counts down from 90 seconds. Then the GUI is redirected to the alternate Virtual Connect
Ethernet module for login after the Virtual Connect Manager has restarted.
• If the Force Failover checkbox is not selected or a Virtual Connect Ethernet module is not available in
the alternate interconnect bay, the GUI counts down from 90 seconds, the Virtual Connect Manager
restarts on the current Virtual Connect Ethernet Module, and the user is presented the login screen for
the current Virtual Connect Ethernet module after the Virtual Connect Manager has restarted.
When resetting the Virtual Connect Ethernet module, Virtual Connect Manager is temporarily unavailable
to the user. If failover is specified and a standby Virtual Connect Ethernet module is available, users are
logged off and must reconnect using the standby Virtual Connect Ethernet module IP address.
Running the setup wizards
HP Virtual Connect Domain Setup Wizard
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 v2.25 or
later).
• Note the following information from the Default Network Settings label attached to the Virtual
Connect Ethernet module in interconnect module bay 1:
o DNS name
o User name
o Password
• Connect any Ethernet module stacking cables (" Recommended stacking connections " on page 43 ).
After logging in for the first time, the Virtual Connect Domain Setup Wizard appears. This wizard walks
the user through the following tasks:
• Importing the enclosure (creating the domain)
• Naming the domain
• Administrating local users
