Assign Static IP Address to CMM Using a Serial Connection

Follow these instructions when using a serial connection to assign a CMM static IP address.

Prerequisite

What to Do

  1. Verify that your serial connection to the active CMM is operational.

    For information about attaching a serial console to a Sun Blade 8000 Series CMM, see Attaching a Serial Console to a CMM

  2. Log into ILOM as the administrator.

    For example, at the login prompt, you could type the preconfigured administrator user name root and its default password changeme, then press Enter.

    Tip

    You can log into ILOM using the preconfigured administrator account shipped with ILOM: root/changeme. For more details, see About the Preconfigured ILOM Administrator Account.

    The default prompt (->) appears and the system is ready for you to issue CLI commands to establish network settings.

  3. To set a static IP address on the CMM through ILOM using the CLI, type the following command to set the working directory:

    cd /CMM/network/CMM0

    Note

    CMM0 refers to the CMM installed in slot CMM-0. The target CMM is specified by referencing the slot number of the CMM.

  4. Use the following commands to specify the IP; Netmask; and Gateway addresses.

    Command

    Description and Example

    set pendingipaddress=

    Type this command followed by the static IP address that you want to assign to the CMM.

    Example: By typing set pendingipaddress=129.144.82.26 would, in this example, tell ILOM to assign 129.144.82.26 as the CMM IP address.

    set pendingipnetmask=

    Type this command followed by the static NetMask address that you want to assign to the CMM.

    Example: By typing set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0 would, in this example, tell ILOM to assign 255.255.255.0 as the CMM NetMask address.

    set pendingipgateway=

    Type this command followed by the static gateway address that you want to assign to the CMM.

    Example: By typing

    set pendingipgateway=129.144.82.254

    would, in this example, tell ILOM to assign 129.144.82.254 as the CMM gateway address.

    set pendingipdiscovery=

    Type the following command to tell ILOM whether you want to set a static IP address.

    set pendingipdiscovery=static

    set commitpending=true

    Type this command (true) to assign the network settings specified.

    Example:

    set pendingipaddress=129.144.82.26

    set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0

    set pendingipgateway=129.144.82.254

    set pendingipdiscovery=static

    set commitpending=true

  5. Log out of ILOM.
