Prepare the Service Processor for Upgrade

The SP must have a valid IP address configured on its management interface.

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM running on the SP.

   ORACLESP-AKCH444444 login: root
   changeme>Password: password configured by the admin or the default password 
    
   Hostname: ORACLESP-AKCH444444
   ->
   

2. Validate the network configuration.

   DHCP is enabled by default, so the host can get the network configuration automatically if there is a DHCP server on the network.

   The names and addresses in the following examples are only for demonstration.

   -> cd /SP/network
   /SP/network
   -> show
    /SP/network
       Targets:
           ipv6
           test
       Properties:
           commitpending = (Cannot show property)
           dhcp_clientid = none
           dhcp_server_ip = 10.134.178.5
           ipaddress = 10.134.178.170
           ipdiscovery = dhcp 
           ipgateway = 10.134.178.1
           ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
           macaddress = 00:21:28:79:8B:58
           pendingipaddress = 10.134.178.170
           pendingipdiscovery = dhcp
           pendingipgateway = 10.134.178.1
           pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
           pendingvlan_id = (none)
           state = enabled
   

3. (Optional) Configure static network settings on the SP if no DHCP server is available.

   -> set pendingipaddress=10.134.178.170
   Set 'pendingipaddress' to '10.134.178.170'
   -> set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
   Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0'
   -> set pendingipgateway=10.134.178.1
   Set 'pendingipgateway' to '10.134.178.1'
   -> set pendingipdiscovery=static
   Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'
   -> set commitpending=true
   Set 'commitpending' to 'true'
    
   -> show
   /SP/network
       Targets:
           ipv6
           test
       Properties:
           commitpending = (Cannot show property)
           dhcp_clientid = none
           dhcp_server_ip = none
           ipaddress = 10.134.178.170
           ipdiscovery = static 
           ipgateway = 10.134.178.1
           ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
           macaddress = 00:21:28:79:8B:58
           pendingipaddress = 10.134.178.170
           pendingipdiscovery = static
           pendingipgateway = 10.134.178.1
           pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
           pendingvlan_id = (none)
           state = enabled
           vlan_id = (none)
