11 Using the serial connection
Setting up Onboard Administrator using the CLI
1.
Connect to the Onboard Administrator CLI using the serial port, management port, or service
port.
2.
Log into the Onboard Administrator with the "Administrator" user account and the OA dogtag
password.
3.
Set Onboard Administrator name by running the command
SET OA NAME 1 <name>
.
4.
If a redundant Onboard Administrator is present, run the command
SET OA NAME 2 <name>
.
5.
Configure Onboard Administrator IP address:
a.
Select either the OA1/OA2 IP address or Enclosure IP address.
b.
Configure OA1 IP address as static or DHCP. Example for static, run the command
SET
IPCONFIG STATIC 1 <ipaddress> <netmask>
6.
If a redundant Onboard Administrator is present, run the command
SET IPCONFIG STATIC
2 <ip address> <netmask>
7.
Set Onboard Administrator gateway by running the command
SET OA GATEWAY 1 <ip
address>
8.
If a redundant Onboard Administrator is present, run the command
SET OA GATEWAY 2
<ip address>
9.
Set the iLO IP address by running the command
SET EBIPA BLADE <ip address>
<netmask>
. Allocate each IP address (up to 32) consecutive static IP addresses.
10.
If a gateway exists on the management network, set the iLO gateway to the IP address, run
the command
SET EBIPA BLADE GATEWAY <ip address>
11.
Start EBIPA for iLO by running the command
ENABLE EBIPA BLADE
12.
Complete the remainder of the settings as required. For information on the enclosure defaults
for each setting, see the HP Integrity Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator Command Line
Interface User Guide.
Configuring Superdome 2 server blade iLO 3 IP addresses
Each Superdome 2 server blade iLO 3 factory default configuration enables DHCP network settings.
To use the server blade with a DHCP network, connect the Onboard Administrator management
port to a network with a DHCP server and Onboard Administrator and all iLO 3 management
processors and supporting interconnect modules get IP addresses from the DHCP server.
To configure each server blade for static IP addresse, use Onboard Administrator to setup an IP
address for each iLO using EBIPA. This enables iLO to be addressed using TCP/IP so that the
network settings can be reconfigured.
Configuring each server blade with an IP address using EBIPA provides a fixed network configuration
including IP address, netmask and gateway - that is based on the enclosure bay where the server
is installed. The new iLO 3 gets the IP address for that bay without additional configuration needed.
