Setup and Install

HP Virtual Connect Manager 61
• You can develop tools that utilize VCM functions for data collection and for executing provisioning and
configuration tasks.
• When no browser is available or you prefer to use a command line interface, you can access
management data and perform configuration tasks.
• You can batch commands using script files. These script files can be run manually or scheduled to run
automatically.
For more information, see the HP Virtual Connect Manager Command Line Interface for c-Class BladeSystem
User Guide on HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/vc/manuals).
Logging on to the HP Virtual Connect Manager GUI
Log on using the user name (Administrator) and password.
You can optionally specify the authentication method or VCM role at log on:
• To specify the authentication method (local, ldap, radius, tacacs), enter the authentication method
followed by a colon before the user name. For example, ldap:user1.
• To specify the VCM role (domain, network, server, storage), enter the role followed by a colon before
the user name. For example, network:user1.
For more information on authentication methods and VCM roles, see the information about Virtual Connect
users and roles in the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/vc/manuals).
If the default password for the Administrator user has been changed and needs to be restored, see "Resetting
the Administrator password and DNS settings (on page 128)."
Logon problems might be caused by the following:
• You have recently upgraded the VCM firmware. You might have to clear the browser cache before
attempting to log on again.
