To Connect to the Server Using the Service
Processor’s IP Address
Note –
This procedure assumes that you have connected the server to your network
through an Ethernet cable.
1. Verify that the communication properties of the serial port of the system are set
to the defaults.
The default settings are 9600 baud, 8N1 (eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit),
disable flow control.
2. If you have not already done so, determine the service processor’s IP address:
a. Power on main power to the server by using a non-metallic stylus to press
the recessed Power button on the front panel.
Power-on self-test (POST) messages appear on your screen as the OS boots.
b. Initialize the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is
performing the power-on self-test (POST).
c. When the main BIOS screen is displayed, select Advanced.
d. When the Advanced screen is displayed, select IPMI 2.0 Configuration.
e. When the IPMI 2.0 Configuration screen is displayed, select the LAN
Configuration menu item.
f. 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
3. Using a client system, establish a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to the service
processor’s IP address and log in as an Administrator.
ssh -l root
sp_ip_address
password:
changeme
You may connect to the ILOM service processor CLI, using the serial management
port on the rear of the server, or by using SSH over the network.
4. To access the server serial port, you must connect to the ILOM service processor
CLI. Type:
start /SP/console
A message appears prompting you to confirm that you want to start the SP
console.
