Configure the Service Processor Network

1. Configure the service processor using information from your network
administrator.
Your choices are:
■ dhcp - Set up the network connection with a dynamically created IP
configuration.
■ static - Set up the network connection with a static IP configuration.
a. If you choose to use a dynamically created IP address (use DHCP to retrieve
the network setting), set pendingipdiscovery to dhcp.
b. If you choose to configure a static IP configuration, set the parameters
pendingipdiscovery, pendingipaddress, pendingipgateway, and
pendingipnetmask as follows.
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=dhcp
Set ''''pendingipdiscovery'''' to ''''dhcp''''

i. Set the service processor to accept a static IP address.
ii. Set the IP address for the service processor.
iii. Set the IP address for the service processor gateway.
iv. Set the netmask for the service processor.
This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network
environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number
most appropriate to your environment.
2. Use the show /SP/network command to verify that the parameters were set
correctly.
For example:
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static
Set ''''pendingipdiscovery'''' to ''''static''''
-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr
Set ''''pendingipaddress'''' to ''''service-processor-IPaddr''''
-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr
Set ''''pendingipgateway'''' to ''''gateway-IPaddr''''
-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
Set ''''pendingipnetmask'''' to ''''255.255.255.0''''Servers Installation Guide ? May 2010

Note – After setting the configuration parameters, you must enter the set
/SP/network commitpending=true command for the new values to take affect.
3. Commit the changes to the service processor network parameters.
-> set /SP/network commitpending=true
Set ''''commitpending'''' to ''''true''''
Note – You can type the show /SP/network command again (after performing the
set /SP/network commitpending=true command) to verify that the
parameters have been updated.
