UNSOLVED
1855 Blade Question about IP Addressing
In the Configuration Guide for the 1855 Server, it states "The static address of the BMC must match the address of the LOM_1 of one of the server modules before connecting to a network to ensure proper communications"
A couple of questions
1. What does LOM_1 stand for? I couldn't find a definition of this acronym
2. Does this mean I need to set the IP on whatever OS is running on one of the blades to the same IP address of the BMC, or do you set the IP address on a lower level hardware level such as the port itself ?
Thanks for any help,
David
The BMC shares lom1 (nic1) for communication. So set your nic as per normal for your network, then during restart, when prompted press to ctrl-e to enter the bmc. There are 4 selections. IPMI over LAN, enable this. It share the bmc with lom1. LAN Channel, here you enter the ip adress. Then users, the reset to factory.
You have to set the console redirection in the bios as well to make use of the bmc, the steps should be in the documentation.
