Modify the SAN I/O Module IP address
By default, the IP address for the SAN I/O Module is configured as 10.77.77.77 with a default Ethernet subnetmask
of 255.255.255.0.
Reset the IP address using three methods. If the IP values are set using either of these methods, the IP values are
stored on the SAN I/O Module.
• SAN I/O Module Command Line Interface (CLI).
• Blade Server Enclosure CMC CLI.
• Blade Server Enclosure CMC graphical user interface (GUI).
ATTENTION
Do not connect the SAN I/O Module to the internal network until the IP address is correctly set for your Ethernet
network requirements.
NOTE
It is recommended that you set the IP address using the Blade Server Enclosure CMC GUI application because this
enables centralized management of the SAN I/O Module.
Using the SAN I/O Module CLI to set the IP address
Use the following tasks to change the IP address on the SAN I/O Module using the Module’s CLI.
Task 1: Establish a terminal session with the SAN I/O Module
Use these steps to establish a terminal emulation session between the SAN I/O Module and a Blade Server
Enclosure management workstation used for managing the I/O Module. Once this session is established, you can
log into the Module and use its CLI commands to manage the module.
1. Connect a serial cable between the serial console port on the SAN I/O Module and a Blade Server Enclosure
management workstation that can establish a terminal emulation session with the SAN I/O Module. For
instructions, refer to Configuration Guide for your Blade Server Enclosure.
2. Disable any serial communication programs that are running on the workstation.
3. Using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC or TERM in a LINUX or UNIX environment),
establish a terminal session to the SAN I/O Module from the management workstation. You will use this
connection if you want to reset the module’s IP address using CLI commands and perform other configuration
tasks.
