This procedure describes how to access the SP from an in-band (or sideband) management port using a 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 = /SYS/MB/SP/MGMT ... pendingmanagementport = /SYS/MP/SP/MGMT
For server modules, port is MGMT, NET0, or NET1. For servers, port is MGMT, NET0, NET1, NET2, or NET3.
-> set /SP/network pendingmanagementport=/SYS/MB/port -> set /SP/network commitpending=true
-> show /SP/network
For example, in the output, you might find these new properties:
managementport = /SYS/MB/NET0 ... pendingmanagementport = /SYS/MP/NET0
