Set the SCP IP Address (nm3tool)

1. Open an SSH session and log in to the SP as the root user.

   % ssh root@SP_IP_address
   password: password
   ->

   ---

   Note -  The default password is changeme.

   ---

   The Oracle ILOM shell prompt (->) is displayed.

2. Start the host console.

   -> start /HOST/console
   Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y
   Serial console started.  To stop, type ESC (

3. Press the Enter key.

   Oracle Linux Server release 6.6
   Kernel 4.0.4-15.el6uek.x86_64 on an x86_64
   SCP_hostname login: 

4. Log in as the root user.

   SCP_hostname login: root
   Password:password
   Last login: Fri May 25 09:51:36 on ttyS0
   [root@SCP_hostname ~]# 

   The default password is changeme.

5. Set the SCP IP address.

   [root@SCP_hostname ~]# nm3tool ipaddress SCP_IP_address|dhcp|ilom

   where SCP_IP_address is the IP address to be assigned to the SCP. Alternatively, you can configure IP address assignment by DHCP or Oracle ILOM. If you provide a static IP address, you will also need to provide the netmask and the IP address of the management network gateway. For example:

   [root@SCP_hostname ~]# nm3tool ipaddress 123.45.67.90
   Enter netmask: 255.255.255.0
   Enter default gateway: 123.45.67.1
   Restart network now? (Y/n)

6. Restart the network to use the new values.

   Restart network now? (Y/n)Y

   Shutting down interface eth1:                              [  OK  ]
   Shutting down loopback interface:                          [  OK  ]
   Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]

                                                              [  OK  ]
   Bringing up interface eth1:  Determining if ip address 169.254.2.1 is already in use for device eth1...
                                                              [  OK  ]
   
   [root@hostname ~]#

7. (Optional) Set the hostname.

   Provide the new host name. For example:

   [root@SCP_hostname ~]# nm3tool hostname hostname

   where hostname is the host name of the SCP. For example:

   [root@SCP_hostnameSCP_hostname ~]# nm3tool hostname hostwiththemost
   [root@SCP_hostname ~]#

8. Apply the changes.

   [root@SCP_hostname ~]# nm3tool apply

   [root@SCP_hostname ~]#
