Connecting To Node Board Consoles From The Distributed Management Card - Sun Microsystems Netra CT 820 Administration Manual

4. Form the three-part client ID by using the system part number, the system serial
number, and the slot number, separated by colons. Then, convert the client ID to
ASCII.
For example, if the output from the showfru commands in
part number) and 000001 (Sun serial number), and you want to form the client ID for
the node board in slot 4, the client ID is: 3754335:000001:04.
Translate the client ID to its ASCII equivalent. For example:
Client ID part
3754335
:
000001
:
04
Thus, the example client ID in ASCII is:
33 37 35 34 33 33 35 3A 30 30 30 30 30 31 3A 30 34.
5. Configure the DHCP server.
Refer to the Solaris DHCP Administration Guide on the web site docs.sun.com for
information on how to configure the DHCP server for remote boot and diskless boot
clients.
The client ID is retained across a node board power cycle, reboot, or reset; the
distributed management card updates the client ID during a first-time power on or a
hot swap of a node board. In the event of a distributed management card fault, a
node board reboot or reset will retrieve the previously written client ID.
