UV 3000 IPMI 2.x Administration Overview

007-6402-001
To configure the RMC to use a static IP address, the
/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1 on the RMC must be edited.
The configuration file should be modified to contain these lines:
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
must be commented out, and the entries:
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=
NETMASK=
must be uncommented and set appropriately. Obtain the appropriate values for the IPADDR and
NETMASK from your system administrator/IT organization.
GATEWAY=<network gateway IP address>
HOSTNAME=<hostname to use>
Note that the GATEWAY and HOSTNAME lines are optional.
Once the changes are made, save the file and reboot the RMC. After it reboots, it will be
configured with the specified IP address.
The following subsections describe options for controlling the SGI UV 3000 using LAN or serial
interface methods.
IPMI 2.x protocols can be used to monitor and/or administer a UV 3000 system remotely using
system management software available at the customer site. IPMI 2.x can provide remote access
to multiple users at different locations for networking. It also allows a user/system administrator
to monitor and manage specific computer events remotely.
