Hardware Overview and Quick Start Installation and Initial Setup

HP ProCurve Datacenter Connection Manager Controller

HP ProCurve Datacenter Connection
Manager Controller

The HP ProCurve Datacenter Connection Manager (DCM) Controller is a 1U
appliance that is designed to help network administrators provision the
network for server interfaces.

Using the DCM Controller, network administrators can prepare in advance for
a new server installation by configuring a virtual connection, which deter­mines the network attributes for that server interface. For example, network
administrators can:

■ Control how MAC and IP addresses are assigned to the server interface—

Network administrators can specify that the DCM Controller assign the
IP address and/or MAC address. Or, they can allow the addresses to be
assigned manually when the connection is created or subscribed.

■ Specify which MAC address and IP address are assigned to the server

interface—Network administrators can determine exactly which MAC
address and IP address are assigned to each server interface.

1-2

In addition, network administrators can enforce MAC-Auth or 802.1X authen­tication for the server interface and define its virtual LAN (VLAN) and Quality
of Service (QoS) settings.

After the virtual connection is defined, server administrators can subscribe,
or associate, the virtual connection with a new server interface. The DCM
Controller supports all types of server interfaces, from legacy server inter­faces that run on dedicated hardware to virtualized servers that run on blade
server systems.

With these few simple steps, the DCM Controller is prepared to automatically
handle the installation of a new server interface. When the server interface is
connected to the network, the DCM Controller detects the server interface,
authenticates it (using either MAC-Auth or 802.1X), and forwards its defined
network attributes to the switch, which enforces them. (For more information
about this process, see the HP ProCurve Datacenter Connection Manager

Controller Management and Configuration Guide.)

Figure 1-1 shows how this process works.

Hardware Overview and Quick Start Installation and Initial Setup

HP ProCurve Datacenter Connection Manager Controller

Figure 1-1. DCM Controller Simplifies the Process of Provisioning the Network

for New Server Interfaces

In addition to providing a technical solution for provisioning the network for
server interfaces, the DCM Controller facilitates communications between two
IT groups—network administrators and server administrators—and helps them
establish an efficient, repeatable workflow process for tasks such as:

■ Adding a server interface to the network

■ Changing a server interface’s network configuration

■ Collecting and maintaining information about server interfaces

For example, the workflow process for adding a server interface to the
network might include these steps:

1. The network administrator creates virtual connections in DCM Control­ler. This step could be completed at any time in preparation for new server
interfaces that might be added to the network.

2. The server administrator accesses the Web browser interface, using a
username and password that provides limited rights to the DCM Control­ler. The server administrator can view only the Subscriber view, which
lists the available virtual connections.

3. The server administrator subscribes to a virtual connection. By subscrib­ing to a connection, the server administrator associates a new server
interface with a specific virtual connection.

When the new server interface is connected to the network, the DCM
Controller forwards the settings you configured to the switch so that those
settings can be enforced on the switch port.

4. The network administrator monitors the connection.

1-3

Hardware Overview and Quick Start Installation and Initial Setup

HP ProCurve Datacenter Connection Manager Controller

This simple process can occur seamlessly, eliminating waiting periods and
possible frustration because of miscommunications between the network
administrator and the server administrator.

DCM Controller also provides a framework for collecting information that can
be useful to network administrators. For example, when a server administra­tor subscribes to a connection, he or she enters important information about
the server interface, including its location, host name, owner, and applications
running on it. Network administrators can then access the DCM database to
view this information and use it as needed. (For more information, see the HP

ProCurve Datacenter Connection Manager Controller Management and
Configuration Guide.)

Hardware Overview and Quick Start Installation and Initial Setup

Quick Start Hardware Installation and Initial Setup

Determine the exact location where the DCM Controller will be installed
and gather the network cable you will use to connect the controller to the
network.

(For detailed instructions, see “2. Prepare the Installation Site” on page 2-3
in Chapter 2: “Detailed Hardware Installation and Initial Setup Steps.”)

3. Read and follow the installation precautions outlined below.

Warning ■ The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from

becoming unstable and/or falling over.

DCM Controllers that are installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted
as low as possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progres­sively lighter devices installed above.

■ For safe operation, only install the DCM Controller horizontally, with the

bottom side down.

Cautions ■ Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded and use the

power cord supplied with the DCM Controller to connect it to the power
source.

■ If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied

with the unit, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety
agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The
mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the
unit.

■ When installing the unit, the AC outlet should be near the DCM Controller

and should be easily accessible in case it must be powered off.

■ Ensure that the DCM Controller does not overload the power circuits,

wiring, and overcurrent protection. To determine the possibility of over­loading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices
installed on the same circuit as the DCM Controller and compare the total
with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are
usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.

■ Do not install the DCM Controller in an environment where the operating

ambient temperature might exceed 40°C (104°F).

■ Ensure that the air flow around the sides and back of the DCM Controller

is not restricted.

Note: For 1000 Mbps operation, all four wire
pairs are used for data transmission.

location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment.

• In the front of the DCM Controller, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of
space for the twisted-pair cabling.

• In the back of the DCM Controller, leave at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches)
of space for the power cord.

• On the sides of the DCM Controller, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches)
for cooling, except if the controller is installed in an open EIA/TIA
rack.

3. Read and Follow the Installation Precautions

Follow these precautions when installing the DCM Controller.

Warning ■ The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from

becoming unstable and/or falling over.

DCM Controllers that are installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted
as low as possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progres­sively lighter devices installed above.

■ For safe operation, only install the DCM Controller horizontally, with the

bottom side down.

2-4

Detailed Hardware Installation and Initial Setup Steps

Overview

Cautions ■ Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded and use the

power cord supplied with the DCM Controller to connect it to the power
source.

■ If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied

with the unit, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety
agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The
mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the
unit.

■ When installing the unit, the AC outlet should be near the DCM Controller

and should be easily accessible in case it must be powered off.

■ Ensure that the DCM Controller does not overload the power circuits,

wiring, and overcurrent protection. To determine the possibility of over­loading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices
installed on the same circuit as the DCM Controller and compare the total
with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are
usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.

■ Do not install the DCM Controller in an environment where the operating

ambient temperature might exceed 40°C (104°F).

■ Ensure that the air flow around the sides and back of the DCM Controller

is not restricted.

4. Mount the Unit

After determining the configuration and preparing the site, you are ready to
mount the DCM Controller in a stable location. You can mount the DCM
Controller in a rack or cabinet.

Warning For safe operation, please read “3. Read and Follow the Installation Precau-

tions” on page 2-4 before mounting the DCM Controller.

Mounting the DCM Controller in a Rack

The DCM Controller is designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch
telco rack or communication equipment cabinet.

Detailed Hardware Installation and Initial Setup Steps

Overview

Equipment
Cabinet Note

The 12-24 screws supplied with the DCM Controller are the correct threading
for standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If you are installing the DCM
Controller in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and
screws that came with the cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws that are
supplied with the controller. (Complete step 1 below, and plan which four
holes you will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips. Then proceed
to step 2.)

1. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the mounting
brackets to the DCM Controller with the included 8-mm M4 screws.

Figure 2-1. DCM Controller with Mounting Brackets

Note The mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated,

allowing for a variety of mounting options.

2. Hold the DCM Controller with attached brackets up to the rack and move
it vertically until rack holes line up with the bracket holes; then insert and
tighten the four number 12-24 screws holding the brackets to the rack.

Mounting the DCM Controller on a Horizontal Surface

Place the DCM Controller on a table or other horizontal surface. The controller
ships with rubber feet that you can use to help keep it from sliding on the
surface.

Attach the rubber feet to the four corners on the bottom of the DCM Controller
within the embossed angled lines. Use a sturdy surface in an uncluttered area.
You may want to secure the networking cables and switch power cord to the
table leg or other part of the surface structure to help prevent people from
tripping over the cords.

Detailed Hardware Installation and Initial Setup Steps

Overview

2-20

Back up, Restore, and Re-initialize the HP Datacenter Connection Manager (DCM) Controller

Backing Up and Restoring DCM Controller Data

You should back up your configuration and data regularly in case of network
or appliance failure. You can then restore the configuration and data, if it
becomes necessary, keeping your structure of pods, connection classes, and
connections intact.

DCM Controller includes scripts for completing the backup and restore process.

A

Using the Backup Script

To back up your configuration and data, you will run a backup script from the
Linux command line. The script creates an archive file that stores your settings
and logical objects in a directory of your choice. Then, if necessary, you can
restore the data from the archived file.

Follow the instructions below:

1. Use terminal software such as Tera Term or PuTTY to open a session
with the DCM Controller. Either:

• A Secure Shell (SSH) session to the HP ProCurve Datacenter Connec-

tion Manager (DCM) Controller’s IP address

• A console session

2. When prompted for the username, enter root.

3. When prompted for the password, enter the root password (default:
procurve). The root command line prompt is displayed:

ProCurve DCM(mydcm):~#

A-1

Back up, Restore, and Re-initialize the HP Datacenter Connection Manager (DCM) Controller

Backing Up and Restoring DCM Controller Data

Caution Be very careful when entering commands from the root: misconfigurations

can cause the device to malfunction. You should be experienced with Linux
systems before using these commands.

Note These steps instruct you to back up your data onto a USB drive. However, you

can also back up the data to any safe network location that DCM Controller
can reach. If you are using a network location, you can go directly to step 5.

4. Mount your USB drive:

a. Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the DCM Controller.

b. Confirm the name assigned by the OS to the USB device:

ProCurve DCM(mydcm):~# fdisk -l

In the command output, Disk /dev/sda: refers to the DCM Controller’s
hard drives. Your USB drive will probably be placed in the /dev/sdb
directory. Look for Disk /dev/sdb: in the output and confirm that the
size of the device described there matches your USB drive. Your
device will probably be named /dev/sdb1.

c. Create a directory where the USB drive can be mounted:

ProCurve DCM(mydcm):~# mkdir /media/DCMbackup

d. Mount the drive to the directory you just created:

mount /dev/[device name] /media/DCMbackup

Replace device name with the string you wrote down in step b. For
example:

mount /dev/sdb1 /media/DCMbackup

The USB device is now ready to be used.

5. At the prompt, enter the command below:

/var/opt/HP/dcm/bin/backup-bundle /[location]

In place of [location], enter the directory where you want to store the
output file. For example:

/var/opt/HP/dcm/bin/backup-bundle /media/DCMbackup

This command creates a .tar.gz file that contains the backup data. The file
will be named backup-bundle-MMM-DD-YY-nnnnnn.tar.gz. The month, day,
and year of the date you run the script will be inserted in place of Mmm-
dd-yy, and a random string of digits is entered in place of nnnnn.

A-2

Back up, Restore, and Re-initialize the HP Datacenter Connection Manager (DCM) Controller

Backing Up and Restoring DCM Controller Data

6. Allow the process to execute. You should then see a confirmation message
such as the following:

SUCCESS: File [location]backup-bundle-Feb-20-09-

11047.log added
Process ended
ProCurve DCM(mydcm):~#

The message confirms that the backup script executed successfully and
that a log file named backup-bundle-[Mmm-dd-yy-nnnnn].log was written to
the output directory you specified.

7. Confirm the name of the .tar file.

a. List the contents of the USB drive:

dir /media/DCMbackup/

b. Find the .tar.gz file and write down its name for later reference. It will

look something like the following:

backup-bundle-Mmm-dd-yy-nnnn.tar

Note When you are finished, remember to unmount the USB drive before removing

it using the umount command. For example:

umount /media/DCMbackup

Using the Restoration Script

To restore DCM Controller’s configurations and data after updating the soft­ware, or in the event of appliance failure, run the restoration script as
instructed below.

1. Use terminal software such as Tera Term or PuTTY to open a session
with the DCM Controller. Either:

• An SSH session to the DCM Controller’s IP address

• A console session

2. When prompted for the username, enter root.

3. When prompted for the password, enter the root password (default,
procurve). The root command line prompt appears:

ProCurve DCM(mydcm):~#

A-3

Back up, Restore, and Re-initialize the HP Datacenter Connection Manager (DCM) Controller

Backing Up and Restoring DCM Controller Data

Caution Be very careful when entering commands from the root: misconfigurations

can cause the device to malfunction. You should be experienced with Linux
systems before using these commands.

4. If you specified a network location in the backup script command, skip
to step 6. If you backed up your data to a USB drive, insert the USB drive
into the DCM Controller’s USB port.

5. Mount the USB drive:

mount /media/DCMbackup

6. Enter the following command:

/var/opt/HP/dcm/bin/restore-bundle [source file]

Replace [source file] with the path and file name of the .tar.gz file created
when you ran the backup script. For example:

/var/opt/HP/dcm/bin/restore-bundle media/DCMbackup/
backup-bundle-Mmm-dd-yy-nnnn.tar.gz

You must specify a source backup bundle whether using a relative or an
absolute path.

This command distributes all the information contained within the .tar.gz file.
It extracts and rewrites all the files in the backup bundle to their original
locations. The DCM database dump is loaded into the DCM database in the
postgres repository, replacing whatever was there before the restore script
command executed.

After the process is complete, a .log file will be written to the restore bundle
directory listing which operations were successful and which were not and
some information about the possible causes. This log file will be called restore-
bundle-MMM-DD-YY-nnnnnn.log. You can open the file with any text editor.

7. You must reboot DCM Controller for the restore operation to take effect:

ProCurve DCM(mydcm):~# reboot

Using the Support Script

In the event you need to contact HP for support, you should run the support
script as described below and be prepared to send the output file to HP.

1. Enter the command:

/var/opt/HP/dcm/bin/support-bundle [destination path]

A-4

Back up, Restore, and Re-initialize the HP Datacenter Connection Manager (DCM) Controller

The default destination location for the output file is var/tmp/. You may
specify a different destination path.

This command creates a .tar file named support-bundle-MMM-DD-YY-
nnnnnnn.tar. It also creates a .log file that tells the user which files and data
were successfully added to the bundle and which were not and some addi­tional information about the possible causes. The .log file will be both in the
bundle and in the destination directory of the bundle in a separate text file.

Recovering DCM Controller

Recovering DCM Controller

In the event of catastrophic failure of your appliance software or your data,
you can re-initialize DCM Controller to return it to a working state. You can
then restore the most recent backup data as described in “Using the Restora­tion Script” on page A-3.

Follow the steps below to re-image the DCM Controller.

1. Download the latest DCM software as instructed by HP ProCurve supp­port. The file will be 3–4 GB. (For information on how to contact HP
support, see “Warranty and Support” on page 1-10.)

2. Extract the DCM.zip file you downloaded onto your desktop.

3. Copy the extracted files to a 4GB USB drive.

Note The USB drive you use for this procedure cannot be U3-compliant.

same USB drive for future updates, the drive will already be bootable.

6. Insert the USB drive into the USB port on DCM Controller.

7. Connect the console cable that came with your DCM Controller to the unit
and to a management workstation.

8. Power on the workstation and open a serial console session.

9. Power on the DCM Controller and watch the boot progress on your
console screen.

10. After the memory check, start tapping U on the workstation. You will see
the following message:

USB boot enabled.

11. The DCM Controller begins to boot from the USB drive. Let the process
proceed. This will take several minutes.

12. When you are prompted to login, enter the following credentials:

Username: root

Password: toor

A-6

13. The boot process continues. When your console session again shows a
command prompt, enter the following command:

dcmimgclone

You can watch the command execute. The process might take several
minutes. When it is finished, the command prompt will display again.

14. Reboot the DCM Controller:

reboot

15. When the appliance power cycles, remove the USB drive.

Your DCM Controller is now ready to be configured and you can proceed with
initial setup as described in “Configure the IP settings.” on page 1-13. The same
procedure is described in more detail in “7. Configure the IP Settings” on
page 2-7.

To restore your configuration and data to their pre-update condition, follow
the instructions in “Using the Restoration Script” on page A-3.

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

B

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.

B-1

Manually Editing DCM Controller Files

Manual Initialization

2. Using vi or another Linux text editor, edit the /etc/hosts file so that it
contains the DCM Controller’s IP address, a Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN), and host name.

a. Enter:

b. Locate the last two lines that show the IP address and FQDN.

c. Press i to enter insert mode.

d. Use the backspace key to delete the default values and edit the lines

vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

192.168.0.2 localhost.localdomain localhost

as follows:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

<IP address> <FQDN> <host name>

In the second line, replace <IP address> with the IP address you
assigned the DCM Controller. Replace <FQDN> with the DCM Con­troller’s FQDN. (The FQDN should include the host name and the
domain name.) Replace <host name> with the host name you want
to assign the DCM Controller.

B-2

The following is an example configuration:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

192.168.115.21 myDCM.hp.com myDCM

e. Press the Esc key to exit insert mode and return to command mode.

f. Enter the following to save your changes and exit the file:

:wq

A message is displayed, reporting that the file was “written,” which
means your changes were saved to the file.

3. Using vi or another text editor, edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file so the
HOSTNAME line includes the DCM Controller’s FQDN.

a. Enter:

vi /etc/sysconfig/network

b. Locate the hostname line.
c. Press i to enter insert mode.

Manually Editing DCM Controller Files

Common Linux Commands

d. Use the backspace key to delete the default value and type the DCM

Controller’s FQDN.

HOSTNAME=myDCM.hp.com

The FQDN must match what you entered in the /etc/hosts file.

e. Press the Esc key to exit insert mode and return to command mode.

f. Enter the following to save your changes and exit the file:

:wq

A message is displayed, reporting that the file was “written,” which
means your changes were saved to the file.

Next, you would edit the /etc/raddb/clients.conf file to include the switches that
will use the DCM Controller’s RADIUS service. This step is explained in:

■ Step 8 on page 1-16 in Chapter 1: “Hardware Overview and Quick Start

Installation and Initial Setup”

■ “9. Specify the RADIUS Clients” on page 2-18 in Chapter 2: “Detailed

Hardware Installation and Initial Setup Steps”

Common Linux Commands

This section provides additional information about Linux commands that you
can use to edit files on the DCM Controller.

You should also keep in mind these general tips for using Linux:

■ Filenames are case sensitive.

■ Linux does not use file extensions in the same way that Windows uses

them. You can create any file extension.

Table B-1 lists some useful commands.

Note In the syntax, an “N” indicates that you can press a number before the

command. For example, if pressing [f] moves forward one screen, pressing [5]
and then [f] moves forward five screens.
