#### FILL IN VALUES ABOVE. REPEAT ALL ENTRIES TO ADD ANOTHER VC-HOSTS SET. 
#### WORKS ON UPTO ABOUT 30HOSTS. MORE THAN THAT REQUIRES BEEFIER HARDWARE FOR THE FA OR 
#### DISTRIBUTION OF GENERATED .CONF FILES ACROSS FA's 
#### (THOUGH FA HOSTNAME'S IN .CONF FILES WILL NEED TO BE UPDATED
#### AND INPUT.CONF FILES WILL NEED TO BE UPDATED TOO AS PER GUIDELINES IN DOCS).

# EXAMPLE:
#vcuser=Administrator
#vcpwd=abc123
#vc=10.160.14.241

#vc=10.160.114.241
