Power Up The System Using The Rmc Network Connection - HP Integrity MC990 X User Manual

To switch from a static IP back to DHCP, the configuration file /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1 on the
RMC must be modified. To edit this file, see additional instructions in the Using a static IP address on
page 19 section. The file must contain the following line to enable use of DHCP:
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
Using a static IP address
To configure the RMC to use a static IP address, the user/administrator must edit the configuration
file /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1 on the RMC. The user can use the vi command (i.e. "vi /etc/
sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1") to modify the file.
The configuration file should be modified to contain these lines:
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=<IP address to use>
NETMASK=<netmask>
GATEWAY=<network gateway IP address>
HOSTNAME=<hostname to use>
NOTE:
The "GATEWAY" and "HOSTNAME" lines are optional.
After modifying the file, save, and write it using the vi command ":w!", and then exit vi using ":q". Then
reboot the RMC using the reboot command. After reboot, it will be configured with the specified IP
address.

Power up the system using the RMC network connection

About this task
You can use a network connection to power on your Integrity MC990 X system as described in the
following steps:
Procedure
1. You can use the IP address of the RMC to perform an SSH login, as follows:
ssh root@<IP-ADDRESS>
Typically, the default LAN password for the RMC set out of the factory is "root".
The following example shows the RMC prompt:
MC990 X RMC, Rev. 1.1.xx [Bootloader 1.1.x]
RMC:r001i01c>
This refers to rack 1, RMC 1.
NOTE:
HPE recommends changing all default logins and passwords.
2. Power up your Integrity MC990 X system using the power on command, as follows:
RMC:> power on
The system will take time to fully power up (depending on size and options). Larger systems take
longer to fully power up. Information on booting Linux from the shell prompt is included at the end of
Monitoring power up.
The following command options may be used with the RMC CLI:
