2.5.1Configuring the LAN controller

Before you can establish connection to the ASMB3-SOL PLUS board, you must configure the LAN port for server management used by the remote server to connect to the local/central server.

To configure the LAN port of the remote server:

1.On the prompt, type asmc2 -init_asmb, then press <Enter>. The screen displays the auto-detected information including the system/motherboard name, and the IPMI2.0 interface. The screen also shows the status of the ASMB3-SOL PLUS.

c:\dos>asmc2 -init_asmb

 

Detect System

-> DSBF-D/SAS

Detect Motherboard

-> (DSBF-D/SAS)

Detect KCS Interface

 

Initial BMC O.K.

 

 

 

2.Shut down the remote server, then disconnect the power plug from the electrical socket to initialize the ASMB3-SOL PLUS.

3.Restart the remote server from the support CD.

4.Run the ASMC2 utility from the support CD following the instructions in the previous section.

5.Set IP source.

(a)Type asmc2 -bmc_ip_source 1 if you want to set a static IP address.

(b)Type asmc2 -bmc_ip_source 2 if you want to get IP from DHCP server.

6.Type asmc2 -bmc_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, then press <Enter> to assign any IP address to the remote server LAN port (if necessary). The screen displays the request and response buffer. Write the remote server IP address in a piece of paper for reference.

c:\dos>asmc2 -bmc_ip 10.10.10.20

 

Detect System

-> DSBF-D/SAS

Detect Motherboard

-> (DSBF-D/SAS)

Detect KCS

New BMC IP

: 10.10.10.20

 

 

 

 

When finished, the utility returns to the DOS prompt.

Make sure that the assigned IP address for both remote and local/central servers are in the same subnet. You can use the network settings utility in your OS to check.
