Chapter 1 Introduction 9
Initial Setup of the Service Processor
This procedure describes the steps for the initial setup of the SP.
Part I: Assigning Network Settings to the SP
This section contains two alternate methods you can use to define SP network
settings:
■ “Assigning SP Network Settings Using DHCP” on page 9
■ “Assigning Static SP Network Settings” on page 11
Note – As an alternative, if no DHCP server or physical access is available, you can
configure the SP using IPMItool in conjunction with an IPMI kernel driver. To
configure your server for IPMI, perform the correct procedures for your operating
system in “Enabling IPMI Access on the Server” on page 14, then “Enabling IPMI
LAN Access” on page 17.
Assigning SP Network Settings Using DHCP
The following procedure describes how to set the SP network settings using DHCP
from the Operator Panel. If your network does not use DHCP, or you want to assign
a static IP address to the SP, follow the instructions in “Assigning Static SP Network
Settings” on page 11.
Note – This procedure assumes that you have cabled the server and powered it on
as described in the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers Installation Guide. At
least of the server’s SP ports must be connected to a LAN.
