How to Configure a Static IP Address

If you plan to assign a static IP address to a server node's ILOM service processor, perform the following procedure.

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Log in to the chassis CMM ILOM using a secure shell (SSH) session.

   For example:

   $ ssh username@CMMIPaddress

   where username is a user account with administrator privileges and the CMMIPaddress is the IP address of the CMM ILOM.

   ---

   Tip - The default ILOM administrator account user name is root and the password is changeme. If this default administrator account has been changed, contact your system administrator for an ILOM user account with administrator privileges.

   ---

3. Enter the network configuration settings for your static IP address.

   Substitute the static IP address and the network configuration information to be changed. To see the current configurations, use the show command in /CH/BL4/NODE0/SP/network.

   For example, you might enter the following commands:

   -> cd /CH/BL4/NODE0/SP/network
   -> set pendingipaddress=129.144.82.26
   -> set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
   -> set pendingipgateway=129.144.82.254
   -> set pendingipdiscovery=static
   -> set commitpending=true

4. Repeat Step 3 to configure the server's other node.

   For example, if you have already configured NODE0, you would then enter the commands to configure NODE1.

5. To log out of CMM ILOM, enter the command:

   -> exit
