The administrator sets an independent range for server blade bays and interconnect module bays using the Onboard Administrator EBIPA setup wizard. The first address in a range is assigned to the first bay and then consecutive bays through the range. To set up your enclosure without an active network connection using EBIPA: 1. Configure a static IP for each Onboard Administrator using the Insight Display, and note the active OA Service IP address on the Insight Display Enclosure Info screen. Attach the client PC to the enclosure Service Port (Enclosure Link Up connector) between the OA bays with a standard Ethernet patch cable. The client PC NIC must be configured for DHCP because it gets an IP address in the range of 169.254.x.y approximately 1 minute later. 2. Launch a web browser (or alternatively a Telnet or Secure Shell session), and select the Onboard Administrator Service IP address as displayed in the enclosure Insight Display on the Enclosure Info screen. 3. Log into the Onboard Administrator as Administrator, and use the administrative password attached to the active Onboard Administrator. 4. While the First Time Setup Wizard is running (alternately, after first time setup you can change the EBIPA settings in the Enclosure Settings list), enable Device Bay EBIPA with a starting static IP address and enable Interconnect Bay EBIPA with a different starting IP address. The Onboard Administrator then creates 16 sequential IP addresses for the device bays and 8 sequential IP addresses for the interconnect bays. Servers in the device bays will automatically get the Device Bay EBIPA addresses within a minute, but the interconnect switch modules must to be manually restarted by clicking the Virtual Power button on each Onboard Administrator Interconnect Module Information screen. 5. Use the Onboard Administrator Device list to be sure that the server blade iLO addresses have been set according to the EBIPA starting IP address and range. When a server blade or interconnect module is inserted into a device bay that has EBIPA enabled, the management port gets the specific static IP address from the Onboard Administrator if the device is configured for DHCP. If the device is configured for static IP, it must be manually reconfigured to DHCP to change to the EBIPA IP address. The administrator sets an independent range for device bays and interconnect module bays using the Onboard Administrator EBIPA setup wizard. The first address in a range is assigned to the first bay and then consecutive bays through the range. For example, if you set the server bay EBIPA range starting from 16.100.226.21 to 16.100.226.36, the iLO 3 in Server bay #1 will be assigned 16.100.226.21 and the iLO 3 in Server bay #12 is assigned 16.100.226.32, and the interconnect bay EBIPA range to 16.200.139.51 to 16.200.139.58. If you set the interconnect module port, the interconnect bay #1 is set to 16.200.139.51 and the interconnect module management port in Interconnect bay #7 is set to 16.200.139.57. 92 Configuring HP Integrity Superdome 2 compute enclosures and enclosure devices
