Introduction
Virtual Connect overview
Virtual Connect is a set of interconnect modules and embedded software for HP BladeSystem c-Class
enclosures that simplifies the setup and administration of server connections. HP Virtual Connect includes
the HP 1/10Gb Virtual Connect Ethernet Module for c-Class BladeSystem, the HP 4Gb Virtual Connect
Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem, and the HP Virtual Connect Manager.
Virtual Connect implements server edge virtualization so that server administrators can upgrade, replace,
or move server blades within their enclosures without changes being visible to the external LAN and SAN
environments.
The Virtual Connect Manager is embedded on the HP 1/10Gb Virtual Connect Ethernet Module for cClass BladeSystem and is accessed by users through web links provided by the Onboard Administrator or
through direct connection to the embedded web server.
The HP 1/10Gb VC-Enet Module supports the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure, HP BladeSystem c3000
Enclosure, and all the server blades and networks contained within the enclosure and enables connection
to all brands of data center Ethernet switches.
The HP 4Gb VC-FC Module enables connection of the enclosure to Brocade, Cisco, McData, or Qlogic
data center Fibre Channel switches, but does not appear as a switch to the Fibre Channel fabric.
A Virtual Connect domain currently includes a single HP c-Class BladeSystem enclosure for a total of 16
servers. Within the domain, any server blade can access any LAN or SAN connected to a VC module,
and a server blade can be used as a spare for any server blade within the same enclosure.
By stacking (cabling) the Ethernet modules within the domain, every server blade in the domain can be
configured to access any external network connection. Fibre Channel modules within different I/O bays
are each connected directly to the same set of FC SAN(s). With this configuration, the Virtual Connect
Manager can deploy and migrate a server blade profile to any server in the Virtual Connect domain
without the need to change external LAN or SAN configurations.
Command line overview
The CLI can be used as an alternative method for managing the Virtual Connect Manager. Using the CLI
can be useful in the following scenarios:
• HP Management Applications (for example: Systems Insight Manager or Insight Control tools) can
query the Virtual Connect Manager for information these tools need to present a complete
management view of HP BladeSystem enclosures and the devices contained within. This interface is
also used by the Management tools to execute provisioning and configuration tasks to devices within
the enclosure.
• Users can develop tools that utilize Virtual Connect Manager functions for data collection and for
executing provisioning and configuration tasks.
Introduction 5
• When no browser is available or you prefer to use a command line interface, you can access
management data and perform configuration tasks.
Command line syntax
CLI input is case-insensitive except when otherwise noted. The general CLI syntax format is as follows:
<subcommand> <managed element> <parameters> [<options>] [<properties>]
Item Description
subcommand Operation performed on a managed element
managed element Management entity being operated on
parameters Command extensions for a particular management operation
options Attributes used to customize or control command execution behavior such as output
format, quiet-mode, and others
properties One or more name or value pairs that are accessories to the command operation,
Example: ->add user mark password=asdf89g fullname="Mark Smith" enabled=true
mainly for set and add operations
In the above example, add is the subcommand, user is the managed element, mark is a required
parameter for the operation, password is a required property, and fullname and enabled are
optional properties.
Depending on the specific command being executed, certain parameters or properties might be required.
For example, when adding a new user, both a parameter representing the user name, as well as a
password (in the form of a property) are required to be specified. All other user properties are optional at
the time the user is added. In general, the properties are in the format name=value, and more than one
property is separated by a space.
Parameters
Parameters are command extensions that provide extra information needed for the execution of a
particular command. Whether or not a parameter is required depends on the specific command being
executed. For example, the show user command has an optional parameter, which represents the user
name if the user instance is being managed. If show user is entered, then a summary listing of all users
is shown. However, if the optional parameter (user name) is provided, only a single user instance is
displayed, for example, show user paul.
Some commands require that a parameter be specified, for example, the add user command. The
required parameter is the user name (add user jake), and if the username is not provided, an error
message displays indicating that a required parameter is missing.
Options
Options enable users to control certain behavior characteristics available during the command execution.
Some examples of options include controlling output format and specifying a quiet mode for
suppressing interactive prompts that would normally require input from the user.
Options are distinguished from other command line elements by using a hyphen (-) in front of the option.
Option arguments are required or optional depending on the option being specified. For example, the -
Introduction 6
output option requires an argument, which is a list of one or more output format attributes. However,
the -quiet option does not require any arguments to be specified.
The general format of a CLI option is as follows:
-<option>[=argument1>,<argument2>, . . .]
Example: ->show user suzi -output=script1
In the example, -output is the option, and script1 is an option argument.
Properties
Properties are specific configuration attributes of a managed element. Properties are commonly used
during set operations or add operations where a managed element is being modified or created. In
some limited circumstances, properties might also be used as a part of a show or other command.
IMPORTANT: If a property value contains embedded spaces, then the entire property value
must be contained within single or double quotes. Likewise, if a double quote is part of a
property value, it should be contained within single quotes, and if a single quote is part of a
property value, it should be contained within double quotes.
CLI command execution modes
The Virtual Connect Manager CLI provides two different methods for executing commands: interactive
shell mode and non-interactive mode.
Interactive Shell Mode
This mode is used to invoke CLI command operations using the dedicated management shell. The shell is
provided after the user logs in with valid credentials, and only accepts known VCM CLI commands as
input. Users can quit the shell by using the exit command. An example of logging into the interactive
management shell is provided below. In the example, the primary VCM is located at IP address
192.168.0.120.
>ssh 192.168.0.120
login as: michael
password: ***********

--------------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED:
help : displays a list of available subcommands
exit : quits the command shell
<subcommand> ? : displays a list of managed elements for a subcommand
<subcommand> <managed element> ? : displays detailed help for a command
Introduction 7
->
Non-Interactive Mode
In some cases, users might want to write automated scripts that execute a single command at a time.
These scripts can be used to batch several commands in a single script file from the SSH client. An
example of how to use the non-interactive mode for CLI command execution is provided below. In the
example, the primary VCM is located at IP address 192.168.0.120.
IMPORTANT: To suppress prompting for a password during login, you must first setup the SSH
encryption keys using the VCM Web GUI, and configure your SSH client properly with the
keys. For additional information on configuring the SSH keys, see the HP Virtual Connect for c-
Class BladeSystem User Guide.
->ssh Administrator@192.160.0.120 show enclosure
<command output displayed to console>
Remote access to the Virtual Connect Manager
The Virtual Connect Manager CLI can be accessed remotely through any SSH session:
1. Start an SSH session to the Virtual Connect Manager using any SSH client application.
2. When prompted, type the assigned IP address or DNS name of the Virtual Connect Manager, and
then press Enter.
3. Type a valid user name, and then press Enter.
4. Type a valid password, and then press Enter. The CLI command prompt displays.
5. Enter commands for the Virtual Connect Manager.
6. To terminate the remote access SSH session, close the communication software or enter exit at the
CLI command prompt.
