Connecting the system console to the management module
To connect the system unit to the management LAN, you must first change
the network information of the management module from the initial settings
(the settings at shipping time). Before changing the settings of the
management module, connect the system console to the management
module. Use either of the following methods to connect the system console
and the management module.
The procedure differs depending on IPv4 address assign mode which
determines whether IP address is assigned manually or via DHCP. With
management module firmware earlier than A0165, IPv4 address assign mode
is Static (which means IP address is set manually). With management module
firmware A0165 or later, you can set IPv4 address assign mode to Static or
DHCP. (The default setting is Static and it can be changed to DHCP when the
system unit is shipped if specified by a customer.)
You can check and modify IPv4 address assign mode by using
show mgmt-
module mgmt-lan
and
set mgmt-module mgmt-lan
commands. You can use
the serial port of the management module to log in to CLI console. For more
information of those commands, see the manual Hitachi Compute Blade 2500
Series Management Module User Guide.
Connecting using a LAN cable
•
If IPv4 address assign mode is Static, do the following:
Use a LAN cable to directly connect the LAN port of the system console to
the MGMT1 port of the management LAN module. If you use the LPAR
manager functionality, specific network cabling that connects the system
unit to the management LAN is required.
When connecting the system console to the MGMT1 port of the
management LAN module, of the two management modules, connect to
the one that is operating as the active system. You can identify the
