About Service Processor Interfaces
After you configure the IP address to comply with your network IP scheme, you can
access the LOM SP web interface using a Sun Microsystems supported web browser.
You can also connect to the LOM SP through secure shell (SSH).
Choose from one of several LOM SP interfaces to support system management on
your server. After you have determined the IP address of the SP, you can access SP
firmware applications through the following LOM SP interfaces:
■ Serial Port CLI
■ Secure (command) shell (SSH) CLI
■ Ethernet-based web browser
About LOM IP Addresses
The LOM SP is assigned a DHCP IP address by default. There are two requirements
for DHCP IP address assignment to occur:
■ Connection to your network must be through a NET MGT port.
■ DHCP services must be present on your network infrastructure.
If a DHCP server cannot be reached after 3 DHCP requests, the LOM SP is assigned
a static IP address based on the network management port MAC address. This IP
address is always in the format 192.168.xxx.xxx.
Determining the LOM Service Processor
IP Address
There are two methods to determine the IP address of the LOM SP. Choose one of
the following methods:
■ “Method 1: Access the BIOS” on page 34 s.
■ “Method 2: Connect to the Service Processor Using a Serial Connection” on
page 35
Method 1: Access the BIOS
To access the BIOS and view the service processor (SP) IP address:
1. Power on the server (or restart the server if it is running).
