Configuring the Oracle Solaris OS 39

▼ Assign a Static IP Address to the SP

By default, the server module is configured to obtain an IP address from DHCP services in your network. If the network your server module is connected to does not support DHCP for IP addressing, perform this procedure.

To configure the server module to support DHCP, refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation.

1. Set the SP to accept a static IP address.

-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'

2. Set the IP address for the SP.

-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr'

3. Set the IP address for the SP gateway.

-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr'

4. Set the netmask for the SP.

-> 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.

5. Verify that the pending parameters are set correctly.

-> 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

40 SPARC T4-1B Server Module Installation Guide • May 2012

6. Commit the changes to the SP network parameters.

-> set /SP/network commitpending=true Set 'commitpending' to 'true'

Note – You can type the show /SP/network command again to verify that the

parameters have been updated.

7. Set the static IP address when you configure the Oracle Solaris OS.
