Connect Your Local Client

Ensure that the local client used to perform the update is connected to the
management network (the same local area network [LAN] as one of the SP 10/100
Ethernet management ports).
If you are not sure, try to ping the SP IP address from your local client. If the
command is successful, your local client is on the same LAN as the SP port.
Note – It is not recommended to update a server over a WAN.
Configure the Manager User and Password for the
Service Processor
To configure the manager user and password, do the following:
1. Connect to the SP with the ssh client using the IP address that appears on the
LCD display on the front panel.
2. Log in with user name setup and no password.
3. When prompted, create the first manager-level user. For example, username sun
and password sun.
The SSH session disconnects.
The SP is now set up and ready to be used to perform the server update.

Verify BIOS and Firmware Versions

Ensure that you note down the current SP settings and firmware revisions.
