Systems configured with SUSE Linux
To set BMC IP parameters for systems configured with SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server 10, complete the following steps:
1.
Attach a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the dx360 server for which you want
to display or modify the BMC IP parameters.
2.
Turn on the dx360 server and allow it boot to the Linux operating system.
3.
On a blank place on the desktop, click the left mouse button and select
Applications --> Gnome Terminal --> Enter
. This opens up a new window on
the desktop and starts a terminal session with the Linux SUSE operating
system.
4.
Type the following commands to display the entire set of IP parameters for the
baseboard management controller:
v
modprobe ipmi_si
and press Enter
v
modprobe ipmi_devintf
and press Enter
v
modprobe lan print 1
and press Enter
5.
Search for the
IP Address
line. This indicates the IP address of the baseboard
management controller.
6.
Search for the
IP Source
line. This indicates if the IP address is set by
dynamic host controller protocol (DHCP) or is set statically by the user.
7.
To change the baseboard management controller IP address for SUSE Linux,
type
ipmitool lan set 1 ipscr static
and press Enter. This sets the IP
address source as entered by the user.
Note:
Changing the BMC IP address might cause network issues. Contact the
IT administrator before attempting to change any network settings.
8.
Type
ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr
IP address
and press Enter, where
IP
address
is the desired baseboard management controller IP address.

net mask
and press Enter, where

is the desired network IP mask.
10. To change the IP address gateway, type

IP address
and press Enter, where

is the desired gateway IP address.
11. Type the following commands to verify that the changes were made correctly:

and press Enter
v
modprobe lan print 1
and press Enter
