SPARC M8 and SPARC M7 Servers Administration Guide

Configure the IPv4 and IPv6 Static IP Addresses for a Specific SP or Host

This task uses SP0 as an example. You can use ACTIVE_SP or the name of any one of the SPs or SPMs. You can also use the name of any one of the PDomain SPMs which are specified using the HOSTx targets..

You must have the admin role (a) to complete this task.

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM (CLI).

2. View the current static IP address.
   • For the IPv4 address, type:

     -> show /SP/network/SP0 ipaddress
     
        /SP/network/SP0
           Properties:
              ipaddress = IPv4-address
     
     ->

   • For the IPv6 address, type:

     -> show /SP/network/SP0/ipv6 static_ipaddress
     
        /SP/network/SP0/ipv6
           Properties:
              static_ipaddress = IPv6-address
     
     ->

3. Assign a static IP address.
   • For an IPv4 address, type:

     -> set /SP/network/SP0 pendingipaddress=IPv4-address
     set 'pendingipaddress' to 'IPv4-address'
     
     ->

   • For an IPv6 address, type:

     -> set /SP/network/SP0/ipv6 pending_static_ipaddress=IPv6-IP-address
     set 'pending_static_ipaddress' to 'IPv6-address'
     
     ->

4. Commit the changes to the IP addresses.

   -> set /SP/network commitpending=true
   Set 'commitpending' to 'true'
   
   ->

5. Verify that the parameters were set correctly.
   • For the IPv4 address, type:

           Properties:
              ipaddress = IPv4-address
     
     ->

   • For the IPv6 address, type:

     -> show /SP/network/SP0/ipv6 static_ipaddress
     
        /SP/network/SP0/ipv6
           Properties:
