Chapter 4 Setting Up the Server 79
Determining the ILOM SP IP Address
You can use either of the following methods to determine the IP address of the
ILOM SP for remote network access:
■ “Use the BIOS Setup Utility to View the Assigned ILOM SP IP Address” on
page 79
■ “Use a Serial Connection to View the Assigned ILOM SP IP Address” on page 80
▼ Use the BIOS Setup Utility to View the Assigned ILOM
SP IP Address
To access the BIOS Setup utility and view the ILOM SP IP address, complete the
following steps:
1. Power on the server (or restart the server if it is running).
2. When the Sun Microsystems splash screen or text prompt appears during the
power-on self-test (POST) operation, press F2 to access the BIOS settings.
3. Using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard, navigate to the Advanced
tab.
The Advanced screen appears.
4. Using the up and down arrow keys, select the IPMI Configuration option and
press Enter to go to the subscreen.
The IPMI Configuration subscreen appears.
5. Using the up and down arrow keys, select the Set LAN Configuration option
and press Enter.
The LAN Configuration subscreen appears and shows the current ILOM SP IP
address.
6. Record the IP address as you will need it to log in to ILOM using SSH or a web
browser.
Note – If the IP address is in the form of 192.168.xxx.xxx, the DHCP server might
not have assigned an address and the SP might use a static address.
