Configure the Service Processor Network Management Port


Note - If your network allows the use of DHCP, this configuration is performed automatically the first time you boot the system.


Use this procedure only when:

In this procedure, you connect to the ILOM service processor using the serial management port to manually reconfigure the network management port.


Note - For more information on configuring ILOM, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.x Supplement for SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers.


Set these network parameters according to the specific details of your network configuration:

Configure these parameters with the set command. The usage is as follows: set target property=value where /SP/network is the target and pendingipaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example, is the property=value.

  1. Configure the service processor using information from your network administrator.

    Your choices are:

    • dhcp - Set up the network connection with a dynamically created IP configuration. If you choose to use a dynamically created IP address (use DHCP to retrieve the network setting), set pendingipdiscovery to dhcp.

      -> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=dhcp 
      Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'dhcp' 
    • static - Set up the network connection with a static IP configuration. If you choose to configure a static IP configuration. set the parameters pendingipdiscovery, pendingipaddress, pendingipgateway, and pendingipnetmask as follows.

    1. Set the service processor to accept a Static IP Address.
      -> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static 
      Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static' 
    2. Set the IP address for the service processor.
      -> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr 
      Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr' 
    3. Set the IP address for the service processor gateway.
      -> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr 
      Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr' 
    4. Set the netmask for the service processor.
      -> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0 
      Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0' 

      This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.

  2. Use the show /SP/network command to verify that the parameters were set correctly.

    The code example shows parameters that have been set to convert a service processor from a DHCP configuration to a static configuration.

    -> show /SP/network 
      /SP/network 
         Targets: 
         Properties: 
             commitpending = (Cannot show property) 
             dhcp_server_ip = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
             ipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
             ipdiscovery = dhcp 
             ipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
             ipnetmask = 255.255.252.0 
             macaddress = 00:14:4F:3F:8C:AF 
             pendingipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
             pendingipdiscovery = static 
             pendingipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
             pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0 
             state = enabled 
         Commands: 
             cd 
             set 
             show 
    -> 

    Note - After setting the configuration parameters, you must enter the set /SP/network commitpending=true command for the new values to take affect.


  3. Commit the changes to the service processor network parameters.
    -> set /SP/network commitpending=true 
    Set 'commitpending' to 'true' 

    Note - You can run the show /SP/network command again (after performing the set /SP/network commitpending=true command) to verify that the parameters have been updated.
