Sun N1 System Manager 1.3.1 What's New

Configuring the Sun Blade 8000 Modular System

Before any Sun Blade X8400 Server Modules installed in a Sun Blade 8000 Chassis can be discovered by N1 System Manager, you must assign an IP address, gateway address, and netmask to the CMM of the Sun Blade 8000 Chassis and to each Sun Blade X8400 Server Module service processor in the Sun Blade 8000 Chassis.


Note –

For discovery to be successful, each Sun Blade 8000 Chassis must contain at least one Sun Blade X8400 Server Module blade.


ProcedureTo Configure Network Addresses for a Sun Blade 8000 Modular System

  1. Connect a terminal to the DB9 serial port of the Sun Blade 8000 Chassis or Sun Blade X8400 Server Module to be configured.

  2. Provide the command environment.

    Log in with the factory default CMM credentials, which are detailed in Table 1–3.

  3. Set the IP address, gateway address, and netmask for the SC of the CMM in the Sun Blade 8000 Chassis.

    Type the following commands where IP-address is the IP address for the SC of the CMM in the Sun Blade 8000 Chassis, gateway–address is the gateway IP address, and netmask is the netmask:


    N1-ok> set /CMM/network/CMM0 pendingipaddress = IP-address
    

    N1-ok> set /CMM/network/CMM0 pendingipgateway = gateway-address
    

    N1-ok> set /CMM/network/CMM0 pendingipnetmask = netmask
    

    N1-ok> set /CMM/network/CMM0 commitpending=true
    
  4. Verify the bench configuration of these addresses:


    N1-ok> show /CMM/network/CMM0
    
  5. Set the IP address, gateway address, and netmask for the SP of each Sun Blade X8400 Server Module in the chassis.

    Type the following commands where IP-address is the IP address for the SP, gateway-address is the gateway IP address, static is the static IP address, blade-number is the number associated with the Sun Blade X8400 Server Module in the chassis, and netmask is the netmask:


    N1-ok> set /CH/BLblade-number/SP/network pendingipaddress = IP-address
    

    N1-ok> set /CH/BLblade-number/SP/network pendingipgateway = gateway-address
    

    N1-ok> set /CH/BLblade-number/SP/network pendingipnetmask = netmask
    

    N1-ok> set /CH/BLblade-number/SP/network pendingipdiscovery = static
    

    N1-ok> set /CH/BLblade-number/SP/network commitpending=true
    

    For example, if the blade-number of the Sun Blade X8400 Server Module is 0, type the following command to set the IP address.


    N1-ok> set /CH/BL0/SP/network pendingipaddress = IP-address
    
  6. Verify the bench configuration of these addresses:


    N1-ok> show /CH/BLblade-number/SP/network
    

    For example, if the blade-number of the Sun Blade X8400 Server Module is 0, type the following command to verify the bench configuration of these addresses.


    N1-ok> show /CH/BL0/SP/network
