Manually Editing DCM Controller Files
Manual Initialization
HP ProCurve Networking provides an initialization script that prompts you
for information about your HP ProCurve Datacenter Connection Manager
(DCM) Controller and then configures the appropriate DCM Controller files.
If you prefer to manually edit the DCM Controller files, rather than running
the initialization script, you can complete the steps outlined in this section.
(These steps replace “8. Run the Initialization Script” on page 2-16 in
Chapter 2: “Detailed Hardware Installation and Initial Setup Steps.”)
After you configure the DCM Controller’s IP settings, you must access the
DCM Controller operating system at the root level and edit several files.
Complete the following steps.
1. Access the DCM Controller operating system at the root level.
a. Use terminal software such as Tera Term or PuTTY to open a terminal
session with the DCM Controller.
– An SSH session to the DCM Controller’s IP address
– A console session (connecting your management stationed the
DCM Controller’s console port)
b. Use the following credentials to log in:
– Username: root
– Root password: procurve
The following prompt is displayed:
ProCurve DCM (local host):~#
Caution Be very careful when configuring the DCM Controller from the root: miscon-
figurations can cause the appliance to malfunction. You should be experienced
with Linux systems before completing these steps.
