Hi,


I am asking for the steps to perform from MP >CO> to configure the LAN/HOSTNAME details.

[Johnson Punniyalingam]

You meant to say that you need configure you IP and Hostname of your server from Console Login ?

Use below commands

set_parms hostname
set_parms ip_addr

or

vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Hello..

Easiest is to use "set_parms".

http://docs.hp.com/en/B3921-60631/set_parms.1M.html

#set_parms initial #Step through all the following operands

#set_parms hostname #Set the system host name. set_parms edits /etc/hosts

#set_parms ip_address #Set or change the primary IP address for the system. It does not notify DNS

#set_parms addl_netwrk #Set the subnet mask (which defines the network and local subnet portions of a network address), set the default routing gateway, and define access to the Domain Name System (DNS) and Network Information Service (NIS).

Hi

IMPORTANT: Ensure you have a console connection through the RS-232 serial console port or
a network connection through the LAN to access the iLO MP and use the LC command.
To assign a static IP address using the LC command, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the emulation software device is properly configured. The terminal emulation device
runs software that interfaces with the server. The software emulates console output as it
would appear on an ASCII terminal screen and displays it on a console device screen. To
ensure the emulation software is correctly configured, follow these steps:
a. Verify that the communication settings are configured as follows:
â ¢ 8/none (parity)
â ¢ 9600 baud
â ¢ None (receive)
â ¢ None (transmit)
b. Verify that the terminal type is configured appropriately. Supported terminal types are:
â ¢ hpterm
â ¢ vt100
â ¢ vt100+
â ¢ vt-utf8
IMPORTANT: Do not mix hpterm and vt100 terminal types at the same time.
There are many different emulation software applications. Consult the help section of the
emulation software application for instructions on how to configure the software options.
2. Use Table 3-5 to determine the required connection components, and the ports used to
connect the server to the console device.
3. Connect the cables.
a. Connect the DB25 end of the M-cable to the console RS-232 serial console port.
b. Connect the DBâ 9F end of the RS-232 serial console port female-to-female cable to the
M-cable connector labeled Console.
c. Connect the other end of the DB-9F female-to-female cable to the console device.
4. Start the emulation software on the console device.
5. Log in to the iLO MP. See â Logging In to the iLO MPâ (page 95).
6. At the MP Main Menu, enter CM and press Enter to select command mode.
7. At the command mode prompt, enter LS and press Enter. The screen displays the default
LAN configuration values. Write down the default values, or log the information to a file.
You may need the information for future troubleshooting.
8. Use the LC command to disable DHCP.
a. From the LC command menu, type D and press Enter.
b. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the DHCP status from Enabled to
Disabled.
c. Enter XD -R to reset the iLO MP.
9. Use the LC command to enter information for the IP address, host, subnet mask, gateway
parameters, and so on.
10. Enter XD -R to reset the iLO MP.
11. After the iLO MP resets, log in to the iLO MP again and enter CM at the MP:> prompt.
12. Enter LS to confirm that DHCP is disabled and display a list of updated LAN configuration
settings.
