Changing the blade workstation IP address for the integrated Ethernet controller Use the blade workstation operating system to view or change the IP address of the integrated Ethernet controller. See the documentation that comes with the operating system for information about changing the Ethernet controller IP address. Changing the IP address for the SOL function The IP address of the SOL function of the BMC on the blade workstation is assigned automatically according to the specified IP address range for blades in the BladeCenter unit and the number of the blade bay in which the blade workstation is installed. To view the IP address of the SOL function of the BMC on the blade workstation, use the management module Web-based user interface, navigate to Blade Tasks, and click Configuration → Management Network Configuration. The IP address that the blade workstation uses is the value that is in the BSMP IP address range field, followed by a period and the blade workstation bay number. To change the blade workstation BMC SOL IP address, move the blade workstation to a different blade bay. Establishing a session between the blade workstation and the thin client If you have purchased and are using connection broker software and have established the correspondences between the thin clients and the blade workstation compression cards through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), the connection broker automatically establishes a session between the thin client and the target blade workstation. See the documentation that comes with the connection broker software for instructions and information about session establishment. If you are not using the Connection Broker software, you must explicitly establish the session yourself. To explicitly establish a session between the blade workstation compression card and the thin client, complete the following steps at the thin client. Note: See the documentation that comes with the thin client for the exact connection setup sequence and instructions. 1. Make sure that the thin client session is configured to communicate with the IP address and MAC address of the target blade workstation compression card (see the instructions that come with the thin client). 2. Turn on the thin client. 3. Turn on the blade workstation. 4. Follow the instructions in the thin client documentation to establish the connection. Conclude with steps 5 and 6 of this procedure if necessary. 5. Enter the password, if one has been established, or click OK. 6. Click Connect, or the equivalent, at the thin client. Updating the compression card firmware This section describes how to update the firmware on the compression card that is in the blade workstation. The compression card provides communication to and from the thin client. To update the BIOS or other blade workstation firmware, see "Firmware updates" on page 36. 30 BladeCenter HC10 Type 7996: Installation and User's Guide

Changing
the
blade
workstation
IP
address
for
the
integrated
Ethernet
controller
Use
the
blade
workstation
operating
system
to
view
or
change
the
IP
address
of
the
integrated
Ethernet
controller.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
operating
system
for
information
about
changing
the
Ethernet
controller
IP
address.
Changing
the
IP
address
for
the
SOL
function
The
IP
address
of
the
SOL
function
of
the
BMC
on
the
blade
workstation
is
assigned
automatically
according
to
the
specified
IP
address
range
for
blades
in
the
BladeCenter
unit
and
the
number
of
the
blade
bay
in
which
the
blade
workstation
is
installed.
To
view
the
IP
address
of
the
SOL
function
of
the
BMC
on
the
blade
workstation,
use
the
management
module
Web-based
user
interface,
navigate
to
Blade
Tasks
,
and
click
Configuration
→
Management
Network
Configuration
.
The
IP
address
that
the
blade
workstation
uses
is
the
value
that
is
in
the
BSMP
IP
address
range
field,
followed
by
a
period
and
the
blade
workstation
bay
number.
To
change
the
blade
workstation
BMC
SOL
IP
address,
move
the
blade
workstation
to
a
different
blade
bay.
Establishing
a
session
between
the
blade
workstation
and
the
thin
client
If
you
have
purchased
and
are
using
connection
broker
software
and
have
established
the
correspondences
between
the
thin
clients
and
the
blade
workstation
compression
cards
through
Dynamic
Host
Configuration
Protocol
(DHCP),
the
connection
broker
automatically
establishes
a
session
between
the
thin
client
and
the
target
blade
workstation.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
connection
broker
software
for
instructions
and
information
about
session
establishment.
If
you
are
not
using
the
Connection
Broker
software,
you
must
explicitly
establish
the
session
yourself.
To
explicitly
establish
a
session
between
the
blade
workstation
compression
card
and
the
thin
client,
complete
the
following
steps
at
the
thin
client.
Note:
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
thin
client
for
the
exact
connection
setup
sequence
and
instructions.
1.
Make
sure
that
the
thin
client
session
is
configured
to
communicate
with
the
IP
address
and
MAC
address
of
the
target
blade
workstation
compression
card
(see
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
thin
client).
2.
Turn
on
the
thin
client.
3.
Turn
on
the
blade
workstation.
4.
Follow
the
instructions
in
the
thin
client
documentation
to
establish
the
connection.
Conclude
with
steps
5
and
6
of
this
procedure
if
necessary.
5.
Enter
the
password,
if
one
has
been
established,
or
click
OK
.
6.
Click
Connect
,
or
the
equivalent,
at
the
thin
client.
Updating
the
compression
card
firmware
This
section
describes
how
to
update
the
firmware
on
the
compression
card
that
is
in
the
blade
workstation.
The
compression
card
provides
communication
to
and
from
the
thin
client.
To
update
the
BIOS
or
other
blade
workstation
firmware,
see
“Firmware
updates”
on
page
