HP Virtual Connect Manager 23

If the Force Failover checkbox is selected and a Virtual Connect Ethernet module is available in the

alternate interconnect bay, the GUI is redirected to the alternate Virtual Connect Ethernet module for log

on after the Virtual Connect Manager has restarted. Reset times depend on the size and complexity of
the VC Domain configuration.

If the Force Failover checkbox is not selected or a Virtual Connect Ethernet module is not available in the
alternate interconnect bay, the Virtual Connect Manager restarts on the current Virtual Connect Ethernet

module, and the user is presented the logon screen for the current Virtual Connect Ethernet module after

Virtual Connect Manager restarts. Reset times depend on the size and complexity of the VC Domain

configuration.

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 redirected to the standby Virtual Connect Ethernet module's IP address.

Recovering remote enclosures

If a previously saved configuration file is restored, the OA is reset to factory defaults, or the OA associated

with the remote enclosure is replaced, then the credentials of the remote enclosure must be restored. If the IP

link between the primary enclosure OA and the remote enclosure OA is lost, the remote enclosure is also
marked as NO-COMM. Ensure network connectivity before attempting credentials recovery.
