Page description – HP 6Gb SAS Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class User Manual

Page 15

NOTE:

In dual-domain switch configurations with two switches in the same interconnect bay row

of the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, both switches can process I/O, but the VSM utility can
be active on only one of the switches. Switch management status (Active or Passive) is shown in
the VSM navigation tree (not the OA navigation tree). If you log in to the switch with the passive
VSM and want to make any zoning configuration changes, you must exit VSM for that switch and
log back in to the switch with the active VSM.

Page description

Each time the VSM is accessed, the “VSM Overview” page opens automatically, displaying a brief
summary about the SAS BL switches, zone groups, blade ports (server bays), and storage enclosures
included in the solution.

The VSM GUI page is divided as follows:

5. VSM firmware version

1. Zoning and Maintain tabs

6. Task selection buttons and data input fields

2. System status summary

7. VSM CLI IP address

3. Systems and devices navigation tree

4. VSM GUI URL (OA IP address with c-Class enclosure interconnect bay number appended)
