Follow these insturctions when using DHCP to aassign IP addresses:
Review DHCP IP Assignment Considerations prior to performing the following procedure.
Verify that your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control (MAC) addresses.
Consult the documentation supplied with your DHCP server software.
Verify that an Ethernet cable is plugged into either the :the NET MGT port on the
Ethernet port (NET MGT) port on the active CMM.
Ethernet port (NET MGT) port on a rackmount standalone server, if applicable.
For the Sun Blade 8000 Series Modular Systems, you must connect the ethernet cable to the NET MGT port on the active CMM to assign DHCP addresses to all Server Module SPs in the chassis.
Provided that ILOM was not configured previously with a static IP address, ILOM automatically broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER packet with the ID of its SP network interface(s) MAC address(es). If ILOM was previously configured with a static IP address, you must disable the static IP address setting on the Network Settings tab. For more information about editing IP address settings, see Edit IP Address Assignment Using an Ethernet Management Connection.
The DHCP server on your network returns the DHCPOFFER packet containing the IP address and other information. The CMM (or standalone server SP) then manages its "lease" of IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server.
Use one of the following methods to obtain DHCP IP addresses assigned to the SP network interfaces
ILOM-CMM using serial connection
Using a serial console attached to the rear panel of the CMM, log in to ILOM as the Administrator. For
example, at the login prompt, you could type the preconfigured administrator username
root
and its default password
changeme
, then press Enter.
To set the working directory for the active CMM, type:
cd /CMM/network/CMM0
To view the active CMM IP address, type: show
To drill-down and view each blade's IP address, type:
show /CH/BL0/SP/network
ILOM-Server SP using serial connection
Using a serial console attached to the front panel of a Server Module, log in to ILOM as the Administrator . For example, at the login prompt, you could type the preconfigured administrator username,
root
and its default password
changeme
, then press Enter.
To view the server SP IP address, type: show /SP/network
