How to Connect to the Server Using the Server’s IP
Address
Note –
This procedure assumes that you have connected the server to your network through an
Ethernet cable.
If you have not already done so, determine the service processor’s IP address:
a. Power on main power by pressing the Power button on the front panel.
b. Start the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is performing the
power-on self-test (POST).
c. When the BIOS Main menu screen is displayed, select Advanced.
d. When the Advanced screen is displayed, select IPMI 2.0 Configuration.
When the IPMI 2.0 Configuration screen is displayed, select the LAN Configuration menu
item.
e. Select the IP Address menu item.
The service processor’s IP address is displayed using the following format:
Current IP
address in BMC: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Using a client system, establish a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to the service processor’s IP
address:
ssh -l root
sp_ip_address
Log in to the service processor as an administrator, for example:
login: root
password: changeme
Start the ILOM console mode by typing the following:
start /SP/console
Note –
If you have changed the SP Serial Port default settings, make sure you reset them to the
default settings.
Only accounts with Administrator privileges are enabled to configure the SP serial port. See the
Integrated Lights-Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 documentation.
Follow the onscreen prompts.
