To switch from a static IP back to DHCP, the configuration file
/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1
on the
RMC must be modified. To edit this file, see additional instructions in the
on
page 19 section. The file must contain the following line to enable use of DHCP:
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
Using a static IP address
To configure the RMC to use a static IP address, the user/administrator must edit the configuration
file
/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1
on the RMC. The user can use the
vi
command (i.e. "
vi
/etc/
sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1
") to modify the file.
The configuration file should be modified to contain these lines:
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=
<IP address to use>
NETMASK=
<netmask>
GATEWAY=
<network gateway IP address>
HOSTNAME=
<hostname to use>
NOTE:
The "GATEWAY" and "HOSTNAME" lines are optional.
After modifying the file, save, and write it using the
vi
command "
:w!
", and then exit
vi
using "
:q
". Then
reboot the RMC using the
reboot
command. After reboot, it will be configured with the specified IP
address.
Power up the system using the RMC network connection
About this task
You can use a network connection to power on your Integrity MC990 X system as described in the
following steps:
Procedure
1.
You can use the IP address of the RMC to perform an SSH login, as follows:
ssh root@<IP-ADDRESS>
Typically, the default LAN password for the RMC set out of the factory is “root”.
The following example shows the RMC prompt:
MC990 X RMC, Rev. 1.1.xx [Bootloader 1.1.x]
RMC:r001i01c>
This refers to rack 1, RMC 1.
NOTE:
HPE recommends changing all default logins and passwords.
2.
Power up your Integrity MC990 X system using the power on command, as follows:
RMC:> power on
The system will take time to fully power up (depending on size and options). Larger systems take
longer to fully power up. Information on booting Linux from the shell prompt is included at the end of
.
The following command options may be used with the RMC CLI:
