Verify configuration The HP Onboard Administrator is the enclosure management module used to support and manage the HP c-Class BladeSystem and all managed devices used in the enclosure. Once the switch is installed in the interconnect bay, the OA verifies that the switch type matches the mezzanine cards present on the servers. If there is no mismatch, the OA powers up the switch. If the switch does not power up, check the enclosure and switch status using the OA web interface. Refer to HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator user guide.

Verify that the enclosure is powered on. 2. Verify that the switch is installed. 3. Choose one of the following methods to set the Ethernet IP address: • Using Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA) • Using External DHCP • Setting the IP address manually Using Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA) To set the Ethernet IP address using EBIPA: 1. Connect to the active OA via a web browser. 2. Enable EBIPA for the corresponding interconnect bay. 3. Click the Apply button to restart the switch. 4. Verify the IP address using a telnet or ssh login to the switch, or by selecting the switch in the OA GUI Rack Overview window.
