b. Log in to your DHCP server and view its DHCP log file.
Note –
Different DHCP server applications running on different operating systems
store these log files in different locations. Consult your DHCP system administrator
to locate the correct path to the log file.
c. Identify the IP address in the log file that corresponds to the MAC address
of your ILOM SP.
Typically, DHCP log file entries are individual lines with the following comma-
separated fields:
ID, Date, Time, Description, IP Address, Host Name, MAC Address
Locate the MAC address of your ILOM SP in the MAC Address (seventh) field
of the correct DHCP file entry and record the corresponding value of the IP
Address (fifth) field. This is the IP address that you must use to access the
system management firmware applications on your ILOM SP.
4. Open a session to the ILOM SP using the IP address that you obtained in
Step 3
.
You can use the CLI or the GUI interface.
■
To establish a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to the ILOM SP CLI, type the
appropriate connection command in the SSH application. For example, to connect
to the SP with the DHCP-assigned IP address of 129.144.82.20, type the following
command:
#
ssh -l root 129.144.82.20
The default user name is
root
, which was included in the
ssh
command.
When you are prompted, enter the default password for the SP,
changeme
. You
can then enter commands to manage user accounts or to monitor the status of
devices on your server. See the example in
