Chapter 3 SP Initial Setup 3-7
■ Establish an Ethernet connection between your server and your Ethernet LAN.
■ Determine the IP address assigned to your ILOM SP by your Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
Once you have determined the IP address of the ILOM SP (the GRASP board), you
can access its firmware applications through a secure command shell (SSH) or a web
browser.
Establishing an Ethernet management connection involves assigning a static or
dynamic IP address to the RJ-45 Ethernet Management port. DHCP is one way to
have an IP address dynamically and automatically assigned to the ILOM Service
Processor by a DHCP server in your data center.
Use this procedure to configure the ILOM SP and the DHCP server in your data
center to support DHCP connections.
3.3.1 Before You Begin
1. Verify that your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control
(MAC) addresses.
2. Unpack your server and connect the system power cable to a power source.
Refer to the Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 Servers Setup Guide (819-1155) for
instructions on installing the hardware, cabling, and powering on.
3. Obtain the ILOM SP (GRASP board) MAC address from one of the following
locations. MAC addresses are 12-digit hexadecimal strings in the format
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where x represents a single hexadecimal letter (0-9, A-F, a-f). Write
down that address for future reference.
■ The SP has a serial port to which you can attach a terminal device. If you log in to
the SP and enter the command show /SP/network, the SP displays the current
Mac address.
■ The SP label attached to the GRASP board. You need to open the cover of the
server to view this label.
■ The Customer Information Sheet shipped with your server.
■ The system BIOS setup screen. Choose Advanced - IPMI 2.0 Configuration - Set
LAN Configuration - MAC address.
■ Command-line interface. Log in to the service processor via the CLI and type the
command show /SP/network to display the MAC address.
4. Obtain the ILOM SSP IP address from one of the following locations. Record the
IP address for future reference.
■ The system BIOS setup screen. Choose Advanced - IPMI 2.0 Configuration - Set
LAN Configuration - IP address.
