ssh -l root <server_ip_address>
Password: changeme
The default prompt appears (->) and the system is ready for you to run the CLI commands to establish network settings.
To set the SP hostname and system identifier text, at the command prompt, type:
-> set /SP hostname=<text_string>
-> set /SP system_identifier=<text_string>
The hostname can consist of alphanumeric characters and the hyphen. The system identifier can consist of a text string using any standard keyboard keys except quotation marks.
