Using a USB keyboard and monitor to alter the IP address of the RSA
on Server B in a cluster
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2010
Before you begin
By default, the RSA ports on Servers A and B in a cluster have the same default IP
address. This will cause a conflict when the servers attempt to communicate with
the TSSC network switch via the RSA ports, and will result in abnormal system
behavior. To avoid the conflict, you must change the IP address of the RSA on
Server B to make the RSA's IP address unique. Do not change the IP address of
the RSA on Server A. The default IP address of an RSA FRU replacement is
192.168.70.125.
Depending upon the equipment you have available, you will perform the
procedures that follow using a USB keyboard and graphics-capable monitor (the
preferred method), or the TSSC (code-level 5.7.8 or higher) or your IBM service
laptop.
Tip: If you connect to the RSA using your service laptop, you may need an
extension cord to reach a standard power outlet, or a 240v to 110v step-down
voltage converter to allow the laptop to run on a PDU in the server frame.
Note: You do not need to change the RSA IP address on a stand-alone server.
Procedure
v If you have a USB keyboard and graphics-capable monitor, go to "Using a USB
keyboard and monitor to alter the IP address of the RSA on Server B in a
cluster."
v If you have to use the TSSC or your service laptop, go to "Using the TSSC or a
service laptop" on page 114
About this task
This procedure describes making a direct connection to the server's RSA using a
USB keyboard and graphics-capable monitor.
Note: This is the preferred connection method. If you do not have access to a USB
keyboard and monitor, you will need to connect to the RSA using the procedure in
"Using the TSSC or a service laptop" on page 114.
Procedure
1. Connect a USB keyboard and graphics-capable monitor to Server B.
2. Log into the server with the ID: root and the password: admin.
3. From command line, type: reboot <enter>
4. When the IBM logo displays, press F1 to enter Setup mode.
5. Select Advanced Setup → RSA II Settings.
6. At DHCP Control, select Use Static IP.
