Hi

From root console control B.

You will have to hook a labtop up, or a terminal, or a lan line into the GSP telnet port.

The problem is I don't get console login,

I can login host box from ssh via network.
and I want to kwon if there are some kinds of commands to list MP card.

= How can you log on to the server via Telnet/SSH ???

= i think you need to connect via serial console ( laptop or from other server via serial port ), to log in.

The case is that, I replaced an mp card on my server physically. and the server's IP is configured already there. I also plumb a net cable on mp card and it will get ip address by dhcp, but I don't know what's the ip is, because i don't know the default MP hostname.

The server is located remotely in our IT lab.
So currently, I only can login my server via IP address or hostname. but I don't know how to access MP card, because i don't what its hostname or ip address.

hi,

at first contact network team, and they will be able to locate the MP card on the newtork layout, because you need to have isolate LAN for MP/GSP or minimum a dedicated VLAN on network, there are some ranges. In the DHCP, should be a reservation fro MAC adress, so you could locate it in your IP scope.

what kind of server is this?

bash-4.0# model
ia64 hp server rx2620

I don't like to trouble IT staff and don't like to step into IT room.

well how can I know the mac addr of Mp card

[Michael Steele_2]

Geez I don't know.

If you've logged in recently it'll be in your arp cache I suppose

arp -a

[Torsten.]

On some servers (not sure if this applies to your model) the system management homepage has a link to the MP, this means the system is able to read the MP address (works on my rp3440).


The newer systems (e.g. rx3600/6600/2660) also have a new EFI based tool to read and write the MP address, it is called

ILOSETUP

and available on the offline diagnostics CD.



Example (from README):

fs0:\EFI\HP\TOOLS\ilosetup> ilosetup get -l
Current LAN parameters:
IP Address : 15.255.96.44
Subnet : 255.255.248.0
Gateway : 15.255.96.1

fs0:\EFI\HP\TOOLS\ilosetup> ilosetup set -l -i 15.255.96.44 -g 15.255.96.1 -s 255.255.248.0
