Understanding ILOM on the Switch
To access the CMC using the Ethernet network, you must first configure the network management port through the serial management port. See Access the CMC From the Serial Management Port. You must also have set the initial uboot parameters. See Set the Initial UBoot Parameters.
You can set network parameters according to the specific details of your network configuration using the clia setlanconfig command.
Note - The following procedure makes changes that do not require a reset or reboot.
Identify the prerequisite and subsequent tasks you must perform in conjunction with this procedure, to install the switch.
See the table in Installation Sequence.
Set the IP address for the CMC:
# clia setlanconfig 1 3 IP_address
where IP_address is in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Set the netmask for the CMC:
# clia setlanconfig 1 6 netmask
where netmask is the netmask. Typically, the netmask is 255.255.255.0. However, your network environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.
Set the IP address for the CMC gateway:
# clia setlanconfig 1 12 gateway_IP_address
where gateway_IP_address is in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Open a Telnet session and connect to the CMC by specifying the CMC’s network address.
For example:
% telnet 123.45.67.89 Trying 123.45.67.89... Connected to 123.45.67.89. Escape character is ’^]’. shmm1500 login:
Login as root using the root password.
shmm1500 login: root Password: password #
The # prompt is displayed.
Note - As shipped, the root password is not set and therefore not required. Press the Enter key when prompted for the password. Refer to the Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 648 Administration Guide for instructions on how to set the root password.
Verify the CMC status.
