Accessing HP Virtual Connect Manager
Access to VCM occurs over the same Ethernet connection used to access the enclosure Onboard
Administrator and server blade iLO connections.
Access VCM in one of the following ways:
• If the management network uses dynamic DNS, locate the Default Network Settings label on the
primary VC-Enet module, and then type the DNS name into the address field of the web browser.
If the management network does not use dynamic DNS, use the Onboard Administrator to access VCM.
