Follow these steps to determine the host name or the IP address of the adapter from the System Log: Tip: The following assumes you have a DHCP server configured. 1. Connect an active Ethernet connection to the Ethernet port of the adapter. 2. Power on the server. 3. From the EFI Firmware Boot Manager menu (Figure 4-2 on page 94), select Configuration/Setup. 4. Select System Event and Error Log and press Enter. 5. Scroll through the event logs until you see an entry similar to the following: ENET[1] DHCP-HstNme=455rsa,DN=itso.ral.ibm.com,IP@=192.168.1.151, GW@=192.168.1.1, NMsk=255.255.255.0, DNS1@=192.168.1.201, DNS2@=192.168.1.202 6. From this information, you can connect to the adapter via a Web browser. 7. When prompted, enter a valid user ID and password. By default, only one user ID is configured: - User ID: USERID (all caps) - Password: PASSW0RD (all caps and zero, not the letter O) Important: We strongly recommend that you disable this default user ID and create new more secure user IDs before you put your server into production. Access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter should be carefully restricted. 8. Once you are connected, the main menu should appear. 9. You should change the adapter name (via System Settings) and host name (via Network Interfaces). We recommend that you make these two names the same to eliminate confusion. 10.We also recommend that you configure a static IP address for your Remote Supervisor Adapter. This will ensure that the adapter is still accessible from the network even when the DNS and DHCP servers are unavailable. This is described in the next section. 180 IBM xSeries 455 Planning and Installation Guide Eserver
