Deploying Virtual Connect Enterprise Manageron Microsoft Cluster Service
34
http://HP-VCEM-SVR:280 specifies the virtual network name and the port of the HP
Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager virtual server.
Note: You must always specify the port 280 in the URL of your Web browser to connect to
the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager virtual server. To learn more about connecting to
HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager, refer to the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager
User Guide.
Note: The HP SIM/Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager icon on the Windows desktop of each
system was created by the installation of HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager as a handy
shortcut for a regular standalone server only. This icon is no longer applicable at this point
because the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is clustered. The icon should be deleted
from the desktop of each system to avoid future confusion.
5. A security alert displays. Click OK. The Login window appears.
6. Be sure to log in with the appropriate username, password, and domain for your cluster.
IMPORTANT: Clustering allows any system in the cluster to own the virtual group containing
the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager resources. With the creation of a virtual network
name and IP address specific to the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager service, clients
can connect to the service without knowing which system currently owns the virtual group.
When browsing to the virtual server name for HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager, rather
than the name of the server that currently owns the virtual group, a security certificate for HP
Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is sent to your browser. If your browser is configured to
warn about invalid site certificates, a security alert is displayed when connecting to the HP
Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager virtual server. This alert indicates that the name of the
server connected to does not match the name on the certificate. This is because the name on
the certificate is the name of the secondary system and not that of the virtual server. To learn
more about the browser security alert, refer to the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User
Guide.
