Re: MP console connection - Integrity rx2620 server

Hi Torsten,

DHCP is disabled because my server has a fixed IP address.

I have another server just like this one and it also has a fixed IP address. Do I have to enabled DHCP in order to do a telnet to the MP ethernet port?

Can you see the address from system management homepage?

Hope this helps!

Re: MP console connection - Integrity rx2620 server

Hi Torsten,

From the System Management Homepage -> Network Information I can see in the Lan Information that lan0 is OK and in the IP Routing Table I can see the correct IP address for the server. I can't seen anything about MP card.

Is this information you wanted to know? If not, can you please be more specific?

Best regards,

No, lan0 is a different thing.

If you log on to SMH, you'll find in the left area an entry "Management Processor".

Any link there?

On some system model you can get the configured MP IP address from there (does not work for all servers).

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: MP console connection - Integrity rx2620 server

No link there... but I accessed another server's SMH which has the MP configured properly and got no link there too. Any suggestions on what to do now?

I know this really doesn't help to fix your problem, but!!@

Is there no way you can get your hands on a laptop with a serial port??

(it may take less time to track one down, than it takes to find the actual solution to your problem)

I sympathize, (been there!!)

Torsten.

Yes, the power is supplied to the MP once a live power cord is attached; however; when using the server for the first time, until the power button is used the MP will not appear to respond. Start up the server and and shutdown -h now the MP will be usable.

This is as per my exp with the servers. It is contrary to expectations but that IT....

As you were saying there is no link, if connected to a switch make sure the port is auto sensing. MP ports are 100 Base not gigabit. Sometimes switches are fixed at 1000BaseT.

Is the manual, Figure 3-1 has a flowchart to follow. Now if you have the server configured for Window there are separate instructions.

Baldric, I have a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasle.
