This procedure describes how to change the SP management port to an in-band (or sideband) host network port.
If you perform this procedure using a network connection, you might lose connectivity to the server. Using a serial connection for this procedure eliminates the possibility of losing connectivity during sideband management configuration changes.
For instructions, refer to the information about assigning a static IP address in the Installation Guide for the server.
-> show /SP/network
For example, in the output, you might find these properties:
managementport = MGMT ... pendingmanagementport = MGMT ...
-> set /SP/network pendingmanagementport=port -> set /SP/network commitpending=true
where port can be NET0, NET1, NET2, or NET3 for a sideband port.
-> show /SP/network
For example, in the output, you might find these new properties:
managementport = NET0 ... pendingmanagementport = NET0
