Correcting an IP address
If you attach an Ethernet cable to the service processor before the system reaches power off standby, the
IP address shown in the service processor network configuration table might not be valid.
If a cable is attached and not connected to anything, nothing happens. The address could potentially
change if an Ethernet cable that is attached to a network is connected to that port and if the system is
turned on. If you are unable to access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI by using a
network connection, complete one of the following tasks:
v
Using a serial cable that is equipped with a null modem, connect the ASCII terminal to the serial port
on the rear of the server.
v
Determine the current IP address. For details, see Function 30: Service processor IP address and port
location(http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/p8hb5/func30.htm).
v
Move the reset toggle switches on the service processor from their current position to the opposite
position. To perform this task, you must remove and replace the service processor. For details, contact
your next level of support.
