Chapter 3 Setup
(4) Web console
(a) When network configuration is changed (management LAN)
If network configuration is changed, the current connection is disconnected when you click [Update] to send new
configuration to BMC. Close the Web browser once, and login again with the new setting value.
(b) Note on designating DNS host name
BMC uses LAN controller independent from the OS on the server. Accordingly, you cannot designate the same
host name and domain name as those of OS. If BMC belongs to different network domain, the same host name
can be used.
(c) Note on using DHCP
Communication with BMC is disabled if automatic acquisition from DHCP is enabled in an environment where
DHCP is unavailable. To enable communication with BMC from that state, set IP address and others using BMC
configuration tool. See (7.7.1 BMC (1) Network (a) IPv4 Property (Master)) for details.
(d) Web server feature
If HTTP Interface or HTTPS Interface is disabled on web server feature, the current connection is disconnected
and the web server feature is no longer available. To enable the web server feature, use BMC Configuration
Tool.
(e) Change of web server port
If HTTP port number or HTTPS (SSL) port number is changed, the current connection is disconnected. Close
the Web browser, and login again with the new port number.
(f) Alert and Alert test
Alert test must be performed after completing alert mail setting. You may fail to use alert mail feature depending
on setting of network or SMTP server of destination.
(g) BMC firmware update
Update BMC firmware only when instructed to use update feature by other document (e.g., Instructions for
firmware update). Do not update the firmware in any other case.
If firmware is updated while the system is powered on, BMC starts with the new firmware when any of the
following is performed.
•
System is stopped by OS shutdown or forced power off.
•
System is restarted by system reset or cycling power.
If "Immediate" is checked, BMC restarts automatically upon completion of update even while the system is
powered on.
If firmware is updated while the system is powered off, BMC starts with the new firmware upon completion of
update. The system can be restarted after BMC has been restarted.
Do not perform any other operation during firmware update.
(h) System BIOS firmware update
If System BIOS firmware is update again when the system is powered on and the update flag is displayed as 1,
a message which means the update fails are displayed. If you encounter the situation, power on the system (or
reboot the system if the power is already on). Then update the System BIOS again after updating by System
bios itself.
