Use this procedure only when:
You are unable to use DHCP on your network.
You need to modify the NET MGT port settings.
In this procedure, you connect to the SER MGT port to manually reconfigure the NET MGT port to use a static IP address.
Note - For more information on configuring ILOM, refer to the SPARC T3 Series Servers Administration Guide.

Configure these parameters using the set command. For example:
-> set /host/network pendingaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Set ‘pendingaddress' to ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
|
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=dhcp Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'dhcp'
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'
-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr'
-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr'
-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0 Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0'
This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.
The following example shows parameters that have been set to convert a service processor from a DHCP configuration to a static configuration.
-> show /SP/network /SP/network Targets: Properties: commitpending = (Cannot show property) dhcp_server_ip = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ipdiscovery = dhcp ipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ipnetmask = 255.255.252.0 macaddress = 00:14:4F:3F:8C:AF pendingipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx pendingipdiscovery = static pendingipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0 state = enabled Commands: cd set show ->
Note - After setting the configuration parameters, you must enter the set /SP/network commitpending=true command for the new values to take affect.
-> set /SP/network commitpending=true Set 'commitpending' to 'true'
Note - You can run the show /SP/network command again (after performing the set /SP/network commitpending=true command) to verify that the parameters have been updated.
